Digital Assets Bolt-On

Digital Assets are increasingly common in asset discovery as technology continues to expand into our modern lives. Digital Assets can be deﬁned as “anything that someone owns that exists in a digital format”. Some of these may hold ﬁnancial value and should be considered part of the deceased’s estate.

Our Digital Assets Search is available to order alongside our Financial Proﬁle Service, extending inquiries to an additional 55 organizations and online service providers.

Identifying digital assets is an area of increasing importance, in estate planning and administration, as there may be cases where these hold real value, such as cryptocurrency and should be considered part of the estate.

The Digital Assets Search supports your due diligence processes when your client is presumed to have held digital assets of ﬁnancial value, extending your audit trail to include accounts which may be only accessible online.

The search covers:

Cryptocurrency
Research suggests that 6.8 million Canadian adults held cryptocurrency in 2023. Our search includes enquiries of popular cryptocurrency exchanges and trading currencies including Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Online Gambling
Increasingly popular, online gambling accounts need to be identiﬁed and closed to settle any outstanding balance accounts. However they may be in credit and form part of the estate assets. We make enquiries of major online gambling, betting and casino providers.

Digital Banks, Online Payments & Investments
Digital Bank usage continued to rise with an estimated 78% of Canadians using digital channels to conduct most of their banking transactions. Online payment portals and investment platforms are also popular. We make enquiries of a wide range of organizations operating in this space.

Having used Estatesearch many times I have always found it to be really quick and easy and if any questions the team are always willing to help and discuss matters and have managed to find other accounts for other clients but with less in them which we are all extremely grateful for. Would highly recommend these are done when dealing with any financial matters. Lynne Ragoubi, Senior Accredited Paralegal
