A Partnership Built on Expertise and Experience
We founded Pacific Digital Legacy Advisors to help families and their fiduciaries navigate the complexities of the modern digital world with clarity and confidence.
Our Story
Our careers were built at the forefront of the tech and cybersecurity industries, with our professional paths crossing and converging at two of Silicon Valley’s most influential companies.
Our shared experience in these high-stakes environments gave us a deep, practical understanding of how to manage and secure complex digital information. But our inspiration for starting this firm didn’t come from a boardroom; it came from a deeply personal experience.
This past year, we witnessed firsthand the profound difficulty a close family member faced when a loved one passed away without any form of estate plan. The struggle was not just legal and financial; it was deeply emotional. We saw the heartbreak of knowing that a lifetime of family photos on iCloud might be lost forever, and the immense frustration of trying to manage simple digital tasks like canceling auto-ship subscriptions, and auto-pay for online bills.
We founded Pacific Digital Legacy Advisors to ensure no other family has to navigate that difficult and painful process alone.
Our mission is to provide a service that offers not just a plan, but complete peace of mind.
