All of us are busy in accumulating Bitcoin but most of us are not addressing this aspect of Bitcoin which is to handover the seed along with other details to our next of kin. Death is harsh reality of life which is certain while life is not. It must be clear to all of us that our Bitcoins will be lost forever in case we die and have not handed over material to our next of kin about how to access Bitcoins.

There was a similar post like that in the past and after going through that I have passed necessary details to to my family on how to access Bitcoins in case I am not with them anymore.

There have been many threads discussing whether we should share our bitcoin information with loved ones or plan for inheritance. But I find most people are quite selfish, they claim not to trust anyone, not even their parents who gave birth to them or their wives who will be with them for the rest of their lives. This shows that it is not that people do not think about this issue, but that they consider bitcoin more important than anything else in their lives. For them, bitcoin is everything so they would rather let bitcoin disappear with them than leave it to their loved ones.

As in previous discussions, I always advocate sharing our seed phrase/private key with our closest loved ones. Otherwise, it would be a waste if something unexpected happened to us, and those bitcoins disappeared with us.


By the way, OP, my condolences to your family.
