Re: Who to trust: A lawyer or a family member.

If you are a single bitcoin investor, would you rather teach a ~~trusted~~ family member about Bitcoin than involve your personal lawyer. I ask this because I grew to understand that lawyers are good at handling confidential issues like Wills.

My answer would be "trust no one". Some lawyers are legit, while others cannot be trusted. The same applies to family members.
What do you mean by "teach"? Do you want to teach a family member(or a lawyer) about crypto and how to use it, or you plan to give them your private keys? Those are two completely different things. You should elaborate more on your question.
It doesn't make any sense to "teach" your lawyer about crypto. Do you want your lawyer to handle your will after you die, or you want your lawyer to manage your crypto investments(even though a lawyer and a broker/trader have nothing in common)?

The teach there is for a family member. What business do I have teaching a lawyer about bitcoin?
I don't mean a lawyer to manage my portfolio.

Have you thought about the costs to finance all of this, both lawyers and notaries and so on? And of course the costs you spend are quite large or a lot in this case. If I were in your position, I would not take a stupid step like you, if it is indeed intended for the family, I just teach my trusted person like my wife until she really understands how to manage or use it fully and I just tell my wife to keep quiet and don't tell anyone, this inheritance is intended or inherited for my next generation.
