Hi
It's a bit strange topic and situation so a friend of mine passed away in a traffic accident and I'm sure he have big amount of saved bitcoins in his wallet or wallets.
His parents a bit old school and they know nothing about technology or Bitcoin
So I want to tell his parents about it as probably his private keys is saved in his personal PC or email or his phone or some paper
And no I cannot go to meet them as I'm in another country now but I have his father's phone and another friend of mine living close to them
So do you guys think it's a good idea to tell his parents about it ? To search of they find some twelve words it's a key to some hisen coins ? Or what do you guys think?
It is the right thing to tell his parents whatever asset the guy left after his death. You can try to contact them first with the number then through video call, you can instruct them on what to do. If it is to troublesome, you can then let your friend that is leaving near them to get involved. I hope the friend that died kept his private key on his PC, and the PC or unit he is using is not encrypted.
