Whether you're a millennial or not, have you ever thought about the legal consequences of leaving your wishes unresolved after you pass?

Traditionally, writing a will hasn’t been a priority for younger generations. But that mindset is changing. According to The Wall Street Journal, 27% of 18–34-year-olds had a will in 2021—up from 18% in 2019. The global pandemic and other life-altering events have emphasised the importance of being prepared. Life can change in an instant, which makes digital legacy planning essential for protecting your future and your loved ones.

Millennials today are building their careers, growing families, and creating wealth on their own terms. With the right tools and secure storage, they can manage their digital and financial lives more confidently—while safeguarding their legacy for years to come.

Empower Your Legacy: A Guide for Millennials

Millennials are often portrayed as still “figuring life out,” yet the reality is different. Many have meaningful assets, relationships, and responsibilities worth protecting.

Still, 55% of millennials don’t have a will—leaving their wishes unknown and their future legacy uncertain. Without proper planning, important decisions around finances, possessions, or guardianship may fall to default legal processes rather than personal intent.

This is where digital legacy planning becomes an empowering act—not a pessimistic one. It ensures that your life, your values, and your wishes are protected.

What to Include in Your Will

Creating a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your information and ensure your intentions are carried out. A well-structured will typically includes:

• Personal details – confirming the document is yours
• A clear declaration stating it is your last will and testament
• Asset listings – bank accounts, property, investments
• Beneficiaries – who will receive what
• An executor – responsible for managing your estate
• A guardian – someone you trust to care for your children

After drafting your will, store a digital copy in a trusted platform with secure storage and encrypted file sharing so it can be accessed quickly and safely when needed.
