The founder died suddenly and had sole access to the private keys of wallets in which for some   <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">$190 million in cryptocurrency<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">  stood. Because he had not shared that information with anyone, customers and employees could no longer access their balances. An exceptional example, but one from which you can learn something. Even if you only own a modest amount in crypto yourself, it&#8217;s good to pause and consider the question:     <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">what happens to your crypto if you die?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/p><h4>Crypto in your estate  <\/h4><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Just like a house or savings account, cryptocurrency falls under your estate. That means your heirs have a right to your digital assets. But that right is only worth something if they can access it.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">And therein lies exactly the problem: access to your wallet is gained, for example, with the <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">seed phrase<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">  &#8211; a string of 12 or 24 words that stores the data needed to access or recover your crypto on blockchains or cryptowallets. Without those words, your heirs have no way to access your coins securely. Another option is to store the digital assets on a    <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">hardware wallet<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">  that you manage yourself. As a result, any next of kin do not need the full seed phrase, only the access code that allows them to make transactions from that device. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/p><h4>How do you make sure your heirs can access your digital estate &#8211; in this case, your crypto currency?  <\/h4><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Of course, you don&#8217;t want your crypto to just get lost. But how do you arrange that properly? A few options:  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/p><ul><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\"335552541\":1,\"335559685\":720,\"335559991\":360,\"469769226\":\"Symbol\",\"469769242\":[8226],\"469777803\":\"left\",\"469777804\":\"\uf0b7\",\"469777815\":\"hybridMultilevel\"}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Include the seed phrase in your will?<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">  Rather not. A will is not always confidential after death: it is difficult to control who all gets to see it. In addition, due to the speed of developments in the crypto market, it is conceivable that before your death, your seed phrase may have become obsolete because you have switched to a more modern blockchain or other crypto in the meantime.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\"335552541\":1,\"335559685\":720,\"335559991\":360,\"469769226\":\"Symbol\",\"469769242\":[8226],\"469777803\":\"left\",\"469777804\":\"\uf0b7\",\"469777815\":\"hybridMultilevel\"}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Entrusting the seed phrase to someone?<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">  You might consider giving (part of) the seed phrase in advance to a trusted person or executor. But that requires that you trust that person completely &#8211; even in the long run. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\"335552541\":1,\"335559685\":720,\"335559991\":360,\"469769226\":\"Symbol\",\"469769242\":[8226],\"469777803\":\"left\",\"469777804\":\"\uf0b7\",\"469777815\":\"hybridMultilevel\"}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">On deposit with a notary public:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">  A much safer option is to deposit the seed phrase or other access information with a notary public. The notary establishes a   <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">deed of deposit<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> and registers it with the <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Central Register of Wills (CTR)<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">. That way, your heirs will know where to go, without you having to share sensitive information even in life.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A combination is also possible: for example, half the seed phrase in your will, the other half with the notary, executor, or the vault of a bank.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Do you have your coins through a broker? Then the transfer is often simpler. They sell the balance and deposit the proceeds into the linked bank account. However, your heir often has to provide a certificate of inheritance.   <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335559739\":0}\"> <\/span><\/p><h4>Don&#8217;t forget the inheritance tax on crypto!  <\/h4><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Inheritance tax must also be paid on crypto.
