I read few topics about willing your Bitcoin for your children and others related to properties with Bitcoin but what comes to my mind is a part where someone said that if all properties can be willed or passed down to your children using a lawyer then it's possible with Bitcoin, this quickly make me remember a rich man in my country who got assasinated by his very own lawyer to rob him off his properties, my question is can we really trust something like this with lawyers?
When you involve a lawyer you have already revealed all your worth to a fellow human being you knew nothing about, there are many corrupted lawyers in my country, I don't know about others but what do you think about this?
I have never seen someone close to me that before his death has given the custody his or her properties in the hands of a lawyer. I only hear about that or see them in movies. In my place, it is rare to see people given access to lawyer to control their wealth and give to their family after death, it could be because of low number of rich people when compared to the average and poor ones. When it is bitcoin, let it just remain anonymous with you without involving a second person to know about it. If it was necessary for someone to know, it still have to be your wife or children so that they can have full custody of it when you pass away. Life is not guaranteed and no one knows when he/she will leave the world, if it was meant to be inherited by your family only, there should be a way you can pass it to them only when you’re no more without involving a third party into your family affairs.
Imagine having a one year old baby today and you set a certain amount of Bitcoin to be automatically available for moving out after 10 or 17 years later, with date and time, I think it's not impossible, if we can stake coins for a year or two before they become available for moving out why can't we lock Bitcoin in our hardware wallet for a particular period in the future?
This is not a good idea to me because we can never tell when we’ll depart the world. Another thought comes into mind that it is a good idea too but how feasible will it be? The best I assume is by putting the seed phrase of such wallets in a safe in bank since that’s one of the most safest place to store money. You can then use any of your child you wish to first have access to the wealth for the whole family as next of kin. That will be easier and more efficient to work out than locking the funds to a particular time before they can use it.
