DCS – Revolutionizing Estate Management

Directive Communication Systems (DCS) delivers a powerful solution to estate professionals and personal representatives to properly manage digital assets and their directives to ensure that all final wishes are recorded and executed. Without using passwords or knowing the content of the accounts, DCS complies with RUFADAA, privacy laws, and site owner TOSA. DCS not only helps you in effective planning, but partners with the estate during administration by carrying out the notifications to custodians.

Digital assets and online accounts are creating new and complex challenges that are changing the way estate plans are managed.
• Establishing a broad Digital Executor through provisions isn’t enough.
• Leaving a list of passwords does not work! With ever-changing passwords, biometrics, and two-factor authentication, that list of passwords becomes obsolete quickly and can create bigger problems, leaving estates incomplete and unsettled. In addition, password sharing violates federal and state laws and site owner Terms of Service Agreements (TOSA). Violating these laws and agreements can result in severe consequences.
