If you die, what will happen with your coins?

[whilk]

My close friend will have my coins and i will have hims.

[Kodeinfect]

they will die with me probably. 

[zirtlan]

if you have too many coins you shoul give your passwords to someone you trust incase for an accident

[oz58]

You should write your private key to your will.

[lichnikkk]

If I die right now, they will lie on the wallet forever. If someone will not crack it

[J.Werner]

haha I hope this doesn't happen with me ))

[Hannu]

Hey,

I have not been think about it much. Im aint rich bitcoinist.

[bunch]

My partner not interested in my coins, so they will be lost

Share your keys with me, they won’t be lost...

[blazsqd]

Nothing happens to it if your family doesn't know it exists

[beatleap]

I'm going to consider putting my into a system where if I were to die they would automatically be distributed to my family.

[cornster]

Copies of my paper wallet will be distributed upon my demise

My family will never love me as much as they will that day!

This question has haunted me for awhile now. I appreciate everyone's responses, it's good for for thought. No one in my family understands bitcoin and the like and the blockchain is a whole different subject. Paper wallets make since but unfortunately I don't know anyone close to my family that I feel has enough experience to transact with the blockchain without screwing it up. Currently my solution is ledger nano.  This suffices for now but still haven't figured out what to do for the long hodl.It's hard explain all this to someone who's not tech savvy.

The fact is that if you do not train your successor, or at least not devote much of it to crypto currency, then what you collected and stored can disappear without a trace. I think that you need to deal not only with crypto currency earnings, but also with training your relatives.

Just write everything on a paper then its clear

[Metallove]

Nothing, They will stay on the blockchain 

[frankbeard]

I've given all my key information to my wife and kids.  Showed them how to use the tools to get to it.  I feel confident that if something should happen, they would know how to get to it.

[dulari1]

this question is not sensible ,, bcoz like our any other property this coin too will be handed over automatically to our family ,, my brother knows these things so he can withdraw it .
but before your death if coin would die then what will you do ?? lol 

[grbox2001]

I would say nothing will happen to them because my parents don't know what a crypto is, and situation looks the same as you just forgot your pass  your coins will stay in blockchain without you 

[boristhebat]

Backup two copies
Own one
A family member
Tell them how to operate

This is basically my plan of action.  Make backup copies that get passed to the kids and wife, then show them how to use it. 

[MiniMountain]

If you didn't made a plan for this kind of situation then all your coins will stay in the wallet and no one can withdraw it, unless you have a trusted friend or family that you share your access on the wallet so they can make good use of it when something bad happens to you.
