Why Inheritance Matters in Bitcoin
If you pass away without a plan, your Bitcoin could be lost forever. Unlike banks, there’s no recovery process unless someone else has access to your keys or seed.
What to Prepare
- Secure documentation: Store instructions on accessing your wallet and backups.
- Trusted contacts: Decide who should inherit and how they’ll get access.
- Multisig options: You can structure access with multiple participants and conditions.
How to Keep It Safe
Don’t expose sensitive data in wills or online documents. Use encrypted backups, safes, or legal custodians who understand Bitcoin.
Security Tip
Test the plan. Ask: could your heirs access your Bitcoin without you—if needed, and without risk?
