Title: What happens to your Bitcoins when you die today?
Post by: SillyGirl on March 19, 2018, 10:01:56 AM
We have our wallets where we store our Bitcoins and other precious Alscoins. But if you die today will your partners and loveones know how to get to your Coins?

That's an important concern, make  a will and have the keys sealed there or get a hardware wallet and put it in a safe box, tell them the PIN/password

Private keys are secured physically as well as instructions on what to do for my wife.  ::)
She doesn't know how rich we are already.

you should tell them how to access your wallet, if and only if, you want to them to know how much your money is now. Ofcourse they will check it beforehand.

I gave the account and password to my wife and children. I just use them and withdraw cash from Bitcoin. If I die my wife and children will inherit that property.

I guess most of my digital asset will be lost after I die - my domains, sites and blogs, my partnership projects, apps etc. and yes - crypto currencies ... they will be lost for sure. My wife does not even like cryptos, am sure she will just ignore it all!

I hope my children will be old enough to access my coins when am gone, if I die early - that won't be possible!

Am going to leave my keys for the family though, hopefully someone will be wise enough to unlock some fortunes

Happily my husband and work partner deal with that. It will be much more of a problem should he pass away.
