Have you made any inheritance plan for your Bitcoin?

Everyone of us must have such plan in order to make sure our Bitcoins are still in use after we are not in this world. This is issue we must not delay because there is no predefined time of death. I have a family and want them to take advantage of Bitcoins I have and thats why I have trained my wife on how to restore a wallet without my aid. I am also training my wife and kids on how to use Bitcoins because that will help my kids to excel in life as they grow up.

It is good way of doing it. It is better to teach your family while you are still here, other than leave written instructions behind. They may have never brought back a wallet or handled a seed phrase before, and might make mistakes at most important moments.
I also think it is worth checking that plan again from time to time. Over the years, your wallet software, devices, and even how you store your money could all change, and your passing down plan should not be one that you set up and forget.

This has actually been asked a lot on this forum, so maybe you just haven't read it. So next time,, try to take the time to find a thread that has the answer to your question. But yes, this time it's probably okay because you're still a beginner.

Then, speaking of inheriting Bitcoin, I've definitely done this. Basically, my wife and I both know the password for my Bitcoin wallet. So if something were to happen to me, my wife would definitely be the one to take care of the Bitcoin in it. So, while this does carry a slight risk, I don't think it's wrong at all. Because my wife is someone I trust. So I'm sure everything will be fine. Because right now,, I don't have anyone I can trust besides my wife, and my child is still small. And besides,, I don't want to be too paranoid about this. Because it definitely makes me dizzy if I keep thinking about it. So, I feel that what I'm doing right now is quite safe,, in my personal opinion. But yes, everyone has their own way of securing their bitcoins, so it's up to them.

To me, once you choose to get married and have children, there should be trust between both partner. It would be selfish to doubt the very person you choose to build a family and a future with.

I did the same as you and never doubted my decision. I believe that if something unexpected ever happen to me, or if my wife and I ever end up in conflict, bitcoin will ultimately be used to take care of my children. So I have no reason to worry about or regret that decision.

After all, bitcoin is just money. Its not everything, and there are many more important thing in life.
