"Cryptoassets will become part of your legal estate in most jurisdictions, and will be subject to local laws and taxes, whether or not you want them to be. This is the reality of our current jurisdiction-dependent judicial system. Your access plan alone won’t be enough to ensure your assets are passed to your chosen beneficiaries. Without a legal plan, the default laws of your jurisdiction will usually apply. In the next section, we’ll look at these default laws and ways to ensure you get to decide who gets what. We’ll also talk about taxes, what really happens in estates, and how to avoid the most common mistakes people make in estate planning."
