How to retrieve bitcoin from deceased brother

[seoincorporation]

Hello,  my brother passed away last week. Yesterday I heard he had purchased bitcoin a long time ago. What do I need to do to be able to sell his bitcoin as part of his estate.  I have no bitcoin wallet app from him.  Don’t know password. There is no will, although I can obtain an attorney who can legally appoint me as administrator of the estate. He lived in Miami, Florida. Thank you for any help

One thing you can do is to get the passwords from his web browser and try to open the wallet with those passwords. This is not a 100% working method, but if you have luck then he use the same password for some things.

Other thing to do is to take a look to his important files, some people store paper wallets in a printed sheet, if that's the case then you can import the wallet and take the btc.

Hope this tips helps and i'm sorry for your brother always a family miss brings pain

Web browser is a good idea as most of them have setting saved in their own computer browser so that they can easily login the wallet. Apart from that you can check his computer fully and some of his daily activity area also should be checked, as you can find some information of his work on crypto currency.

The lawyer you want to hire is not able to give you the lost bitcoins - in this he is Powerless. Legal is what he can give you. You can own his fortune if he had no heirs, family, and children.
But even if you will rightfully belong to his bought bitcoins-without a secret key to his wallet, you will never get them no matter what you do! The probability of hacking a bitcoin wallet is very small and it is simply unrealistic, so you need to try hard to find its private keys and records.

Its a challenging situation if he is the type that keeps stuff secretly. If you access it you should be able identify if it is exchange address or online wallet. If he is a trader might have invested in some ICO or buy some coin from the market. In your search you need to get familiar with the crypto world to understand what you are looking for and how to recognize it.

Ask a trusted family member about if you have had no luck with it.

This is the disadvantage of keeping your own coins on your own wallet verse keeping it on an exchange. I still believe exchanges serve a purpose, despite "not owning" them. But the same can be said about owning stocks or bonds, at the end of the day it's an IOU.

keeping the coins in your own wallet is also an advantage when you are alive as no one can get those from you unless they know your password/privatekey. there are coins i kept on exchanges and there are also that stayed on my wallet. its best to just give at least something for those people you left when anything can happen to you.
