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?
It's better you just teach your child about bitcoin, and if the child is too young, then just store your private key in a place where either your wife or any of your family members will be able to access it in case anything happens to you. I guess you should trust your wife? and a little note can be written on what you want the bitcoin to be used for or how the bitcoin will be distributed to your children if you have more than one child.
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?
The set of people who are not supposed to be corrupt are also becoming corrupt, that's the world we find ourselves in, so when getting a lawyer for yourself, you have to be careful, do your investigation before getting one, don't just see a random lawyer, then you will decide to hand over everything you are having to the person, you also have to be smart, and don't really trust anyone.
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?
What if, in case anything happens to you before the child grows up, how will the child know where the wallet is hidden or the private key to the wallet? It's not even all about releasing bitcoin to a wallet after 10–17 years, even if you release coins after a certain period of time, the wallet has to be taken care of before the child grows, so the idea of releasing coins because you don't trust your lawyer or any of your family members might not really work.
