Key topics discussed:

• “Directives” and how they vary by platform
• The executor-focused component
• Commonly overlooked digital assets
• Divorce-related digital asset protection advice
• Domain names as a recurring problem area
• Risks of leaving accounts open
• Practical planning guidance for professionals
• Additional services beyond the platform

The episode closes with Tatyana and Natalia emphasizing the importance of having a clear digital asset plan and directives in place so executors aren’t left guessing and so families can better protect privacy, identity, and digital property. They also explain how listeners can connect with Dexit or start the questionnaire process directly through their website.
