Your family won't inherit your Bitcoin, if you're not careful.
3–4 million BTC are already gone forever because of the holders who never planned.
Most people think bitcoin inheritance is about keys. It's actually about two things:
1. Possession - The technical side. Whoever has the keys can spend the coins. This is what "not your keys, not your coins" really means.
2. Title - The legal side. Who actually has the right to those coins under the law. Wills, trusts, estate documents.
Bitcoin transfers between generations on terms you chose, but only if you set it up correctly.
Build the plan. Talk to your family. Test the recovery flow.
