Who Gets Your Bitcoin Investment Once You Are Dead?There are millions of Bitcoin wallets all around the world. This is a fact.
Some use Bitcoin daily for transactions or the Blockchain to sign contracts; but someone else could decide to invest their money in Bitcoin long-term…
And what if this person dies? Who will get those Bitcoin investments? Is there any regulation about Bitcoin heritage?
“Of course it depends on the jurisdiction of deceased person”, said Cointelegraph Blockchain Legal Lawyer Dmitry Machikhin. “As I know the only State where such regulation was made is Delaware in U.S. Concerning this law, families are able to access the digital assets of deceased person, including BTC funds. Delaware is a domicile for several IT companies such as Twitter, but the law above is only for private persons - residents of Delaware”.
