If you've got crypto stashed away—Bitcoin, altcoins, NFTs, whatever—you might not have thought about what happens to it when you're gone. Unlike traditional bank accounts, crypto isn’t automatically passed on to heirs unless you’ve got a clear plan in place. This piece walks through how to set up a crypto inheritance strategy, from securing private keys to making sure your loved ones can actually access your digital wealth without a legal nightmare.
Editor’s Note: Crypto’s whole "be your own bank" thing has a catch: if you don’t plan ahead, your digital assets could vanish when you do. This isn’t just about money—it’s about avoiding family headaches down the line. As more people hold crypto, these practical questions are becoming unavoidable.
