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. Dont 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
Dear Mariejose2018,
Most of the coins he would own, would still be located on the harddrive, you can search for a wallet file and try to get acces to passwords or documents located on his pc cointaining tags as''Wallet,BTC,Private key etc etc..
Harddrive is a possible location.
you can use a recovery program to search for deleted files on the drive. maybe you can search for the file or document.
Another option is a Paper Wallet. It looks like a entrance ticket or a toilet ticket.. with QR code probably.
Did your brother own a vault. or a desk he was working at ?
Once you obtain the harddrive, you can ask a professional or someone you trust to look after these files..
If you need any help with recovering the files, or have any questions.
