Crypto Estate Planning: A Practical Guide for Digital-Asset Owners
If you hold crypto, your family needs more than a will.
They need a clear inventory, named professionals, and enough cash so they are not forced to sell coins in a bad market. Stead Life helps with the insurance side; your attorney handles the legal documents.
Key takeaways
- 01
List every exchange account, wallet, multisig setup, and entity that holds crypto. Note who already knows about each one.
- 02
Give that inventory to estate counsel. Do not rely on a password manager alone or leave seed phrases in email, notes apps, or web forms.
- 03
Size life insurance against family bills and taxes so heirs can wait for an orderly sale instead of dumping assets for cash.
- 04
Name the attorney, CPA, and any custodian your family should call. Keep recovery material offline and under controls your counsel designs.
