How to Protect Bitcoin for Your Heirs With the Push of a ‘Dead Man’s Button’If the button isn't pressed one week, it is assumed the bitcoin user is dead or incapacitated and it's time for the bitcoin to be passed on, at which point the service automatically dispenses a "secret," which can be used to retrieve the crypto. https://www.coindesk.com/how-to-protect-bitcoin-for-your-heirs-with-the-push-of-a-dead-mans-buttonHere they are talking about LN, but it's okay to think about these things.

(it doesn't have to be LN.) Don't cheap out with this. Go set up your will with a lawyer that specializes in this. Make sure all your accounts and the information needed to access them is setup ahead of time for your heirs. Choose your estate executor. Update as needed every few years. This is important stuff if you have a family or otherwise want to disburse your assets after you die. Nothing is as soul draining as when already suffering from loss to then have to spend your time you should be grieving instead messing with lawyers and gov't types and unscrupulous relatives because your loved one failed to plan ahead. Ask me how I know this.

What good is your money when you're dead? Seems like you should want it to benefit your heirs. I'm over 60 and my bitcoins are sitting in a wallet that nobody but me can access. I have to start thinking about this stuff.

(it doesn't have to be LN.) Before my flight from Thailand I had most of my bitcoins on cryptosteel wallets evenly distributed which I carried around all over the world (letters and numbers scrambled in a way that only I knew). I also created a printed copy, 2 halves of each private key. I gave them to two of my non-crypto family members that I knew could keep them safe. I told them if I die to combine the papers. They didn't really know what that meant but were fine with locking them away safely for me. After I made it safely to Panama after Thailand took my house (along with my cryptosteel), I got on a video chat with each of my two family members and had them read off the numbers so I could combine them and secure my bitcoins. That was my dead man's switch. Sure, in theory, my family members could have combined the papers and took all of my money...but I trust them with my life so I was not worried about that.

The two halves in any of its methods are a good option, hardware, paswoords or whatever comes to mind. Then you have to choose well who is given each half and of course have a copy of everything.

The problem is not that your family members will steal your money intentionally. The problem is that they may innocently tell someone about it, or just not take proper care of it and let it leak to the wrong hands. This is exacerbated by the fact that they don't understand it, and may even think it's not so important, thus not treating it seriously. That's why you should never share a passphrase, even with your parents or spouse. Personally, when they complain that "I don't trust them" or "I don't love them enough", or whatever, I say "it's because I love you dearly that I don't share it with you". It's a bit difficult for them to understand, but eventually they get it (girlfriends are the most difficult). When it comes to security, my motto is "if you disclose it to anyone, consider it compromised".
