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!
