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?
Its just an ethical thing to be done when you do let his parents know about his coin possession yet there are no other people who would make use of those coins but only to his loved ones.
You should let them know about crypto and how to unlock those coins and convert it to cash since those parents are bit oldschool then telling them even the basics wont really require much time.
Also, those amounts might really be a big help to them in terms of financial because if you do let those coins to be untouched nor wont be accessed anymore then its just a waste of money
if you do know that the keys were just there.
