About Charles A. Lambert

I work at the intersection of estate planning, digital assets, and technology—where legal intent, access dependency, and real-world execution often collide.

Over the past several years, my focus has been on understanding how digital platforms, identity systems, and access controls have quietly reshaped inheritance—and why many traditional planning assumptions no longer hold once estates move from paper to practice.

My work is grounded in conversations with professionals, families, and executors navigating these failures firsthand.

Professional Focus

I am the founder of the Digital Estate Planning Institute, an education and standards organization focused on digital estate continuity, and DigitalLIFEBox, a platform designed to support practical access and transfer across digital, physical, human and emotional assets.

In speaking and advisory contexts, my role is not to promote tools or certifications, but to clarify emerging risks, align understanding across disciplines, and help professionals anticipate where continuity breaks before it becomes a client issue.

I speak primarily with professional audiences—including estate planners, wealth managers, fiduciaries, and conference organizers—who are grappling with how technology is reshaping responsibility, risk, and trust.

If you’re exploring these questions in your own work, I’m always open to a thoughtful conversation.
