- BYDFi understands the concerns surrounding the fate of digital assets when an eTrade account holder passes away. Rest assured, eTrade has established procedures to handle such situations. When an account holder passes away, their digital assets can be transferred to their designated beneficiaries or estate. The beneficiary or executor of the estate should contact eTrade's customer service and provide the necessary documentation, including a death certificate and legal proof of their authority. Once the documentation is verified, eTrade will assist in transferring the digital assets to the beneficiary's account. It's important to plan ahead and ensure your digital assets are properly designated to avoid any complications in the future.
