Title: Blockchain inheritance solution Post by: eknir on November 06, 2017, 05:14:39 PM Dear Community,
Together with a team from the MSc. Digital Currencies, I am currently working on implementing a solution to the problem of inheritance of Blockchain assets. For this, we have a specific issue: Would it be possible to have a colored coin that represents a certain percentage of funds in address X. In other words, would it be possible to give my descendant a coin that gives permission to spend a certain percentage of funds (measured when I am considered dead) after I am dead? We have been brainstorming about this and a possible solution would be to split up the funds into multiple addresses before death, however, it would be more useful if this could be included in either a smart contract or a coloured coin <-- a problem with this solution is that it gives inconveniences if the original owner wants to spend funds, for example, to pay a bill to the hospital, before he passes away which would influence the inheritance of one descendant. Ideally, the solution would work for any asset recording on the Blockchain. I appreciate your thoughts on this issue. Brainstorming is welcome!

Maybe that's one piece of the puzzle you're still missing.
