I keep my coins on Ownr wallet and my partner knows all. And I have speciall things for passwords and so on

Someone asked, "What's the point of getting married to her if you don't trust her? Let's put trust aside. What we are talking about here is finance, and not just any kind of money; this is digital, where there is no name attached to a receiver's wallet unless the person makes it otherwise. So I would not advise you to share your entire wallet access with your wife (that's your decision, by the way, and I respect it), especially when you are still accumulating.

Instead, you can send a few of the coins or half of them to the wallet, where she can have control over them in an emergency. This is to avoid some kind of complications coming afterward in the family in cases of missing funds. If anything happens to the wallet out of the carelessness of either of you, you being the husband, who will you suspect first of moving the funds in the wallet? If we are to be realistic here, anyone who has access to our wallet that we are aware of becomes our number one suspect in cases of missing funds, no matter what relationships or connections we have with the person, unless the case is proven otherwise and the person in question is cleared of any guilt. So I will advise you to add a little security to the sharing of wallet access with your wife, as there are other better ways of doing it.

You present quite a bit of a dilemma Nwada001 because there can be a lot of variance in regards to the extent that couples might agree to having separate funds. or maybe the separate funds are known.. so there could be separate funds and joint funds, but then again, secrets can always be kept in regards to funds, so it could be a matter of degree how much secret is allowed (or even ends up happening) within any relationships.. whether spoken agreement or unspoken agreement... or if they are just lazy in respect to private matters of the other.

One possible way of dealing with a situation in which the partner wants to keep secrets, but also to share might be to have several different secret phrases on a Trezor, and the spouse may already be used to using the trezor and the secret phrases and also know the seed words for the back up, but that she might not realize that the secretive spouse has another wallet that can be accessed through the Trezor and then the secret spouse would pass that down upon his/her death by somehow making sure that the secret password is communicated after death, and that could even be in a sealed envelop in a lawyers office, but he lawyer would not be able to access the wallet without the seed or even known other aspects of the wallet.. so the information in the envelop might even say that this is ONLY intended for my wife after my death and the lawyer would not even be permitted to open it... but another aspect would be if the wife died simultaneously or before the instructions were corrected, then there should be a back up plan of some other heirs or otherwise maybe no one ends up being able to get access to those funds.

👉This very topic is serious and I will suggest that, there should be diversification so that bitcoins will not be the only way out in case this leads to family conflict or lost of bitcoins.

If we are talking about ways to pass down our bitcoin, that does not even come close to any kind of presumption that bitcoin is the ONLY assets that anyone has that is worthy of passing down.

We could be talking about $100 worth of bitcoin $1million or some other amount, but the fact that we are focusing our discussion on bitcoin does not even come close to implying that bitcoin is the ONLY thing that we have - even if there might be some discussions/mentions regarding how bitcoin (as an asset class) differs from more traditional asset classes that likely have more of a physical component.. but even bitcoin might not be the ONLY kind of digital asset that someone holds that are of value, and not even necessarily referring to shitcoins
able or recoverable in terms of their likely moving it to new keys if they are able to breach the earlier keys.

.

Yes that's quite interesting and you've said it all. Bitcoin must not necessarily be the only digital asset that should be passed down. Examples of other digital asset that could be passed down are:
1) digital books
2) videos
3) music
4) photos
5) Email account

There are many of Dem but let us discuss on this few.
Digital Book: some digital books might be the type which passes information to the younger generation. Educative books to enlighten the younger generation the impending danger ahead and how to scale through.
Videos: videos might also be another digital assets. It might be a video that will contains the total asset that one needs to know about e.g lands, houses, business all over there world. online accounts that he/she has been using to Earn money. Or a video futage of death case. Or a memorial of the past.
Music[: could also be an inherited music that was passed on as a heridity. This music could be a spiritual music or a historical music that has a very big potential to change ones mindset.
Photos: photo is the fastest medium of understanding or conveying message. Photos could be family pictures, childhood picture, marriage pictures etc. documents containing useful information as well.
Email Account: email account is also important because it contains alot of information concerning you and can also be passed on.
