Crypto Inheritance
Secure your family's financial future. Pass on Bitcoin, NFTs, and DeFi positions without trust, lawyers, or exchanges.
Why Traditional Wills Don't Work for Crypto
Your family can't inherit what they can't access. Traditional estate planning fails for Web3 assets:
- Legal Delays: Probate takes 6-18 months. Crypto markets don't wait.
- Exposure Risk: Lawyers see your seed phrases. Security compromised.
- Exchange Freezes: Exchanges can freeze accounts. Self-custody is safer but harder to inherit.
- Technical Barriers: Your family needs to understand wallets, keys, DeFi protocols.
