Presentation Summary:
This presentation will provide information regarding the legal definition of digital assets and how these legal assets are treated within the scope of typical power of attorney documents. The presentation will examine the role of two relatively new digital assets issues: 1.) digital “final messages” and the questions that surround the legal treatment of these messages in Indiana (i.e., how do they compare to living wills and other recognized advanced directives?) and 2.) the operation of “healthcare by committee.” Additionally, the presentation will cover the role of newly-developed applications such as www.myhealthcarewishes.com and how “plans” conveyed by this method should be treated under Indiana law. The discussion will also analyze the role of personal representatives of the estate with regard to digital assets and the responsibilities of estate planning attorneys in creating estate plans that correctly and effectively manage digital assets. Finally, the presentation will examine the 2016 Indiana CARE Act and its operation.
