How does planning need to change in order to consider digital assets? Do today's estate plans fall short? We will look at the current estate planning practice, define what is considered a digital asset, what we might be missing, and how best to adapt to include digital assets.

Dave Madan, Market Lead at Scotia Wealth Management - Scotiatrust, and member of STEP Global’s Digital Asset Special Interest Group’s Steering Committee, will discuss digital assets in estate planning. 

We will also examine what could happen if we don't include those assets.

There will be time for discussion, asking questions, and sharing best practices across the country, so come prepared to explore this exciting topic!
