cryptoinheritanceguide.com explains one thing: how to make sure crypto reaches the right people when its owner dies. Half of it is for people planning ahead, half for the people left to sort it out.
Who writes this
One person. I’ve worked in IT infrastructure for a long time and hold my own crypto. When I wrote down how my family would get to it if I weren’t around, I found the practical side was barely covered anywhere. Lawyers know wills; wallet makers know devices; almost nobody explains how the two meet. This site is my attempt.
I keep my name off the site on purpose. A site about where people keep their crypto is a strange place to publish your own address, and I’d give you the same advice.
How the pages are made
- Legal and tax statements link to official sources: the IRS, GOV.UK and HMRC, EUR-Lex and the EU’s Your Europe pages. Each article shows when it was last reviewed.
- Where products or services are mentioned, the facts come from their own documentation, checked on the date shown.
- I’m not a lawyer or tax adviser. The country pages give you the outline and the right questions; your own lawyer, notary or adviser gives the answers.
- When something turns out to be wrong, I fix the page. Corrections are welcome by email.
How the site pays for itself
A few links to hardware wallet shops are affiliate links: if you buy through one, the shop pays me a commission and you pay the same price. Details on the affiliate disclosure page. No company pays to be mentioned, and none of the inheritance services on this site pay me anything.
