When someone dies owning Bitcoin, transferring it to heirs depends on who controls the keys and the wallet setup. Exchanges like Coinbase can transfer balances after verifying authority, but hardware wallets require the physical device or backups and possibly passphrases. Multisignature wallets add complexity by requiring multiple keys and waiting periods. Executors must identify the type of custody—exchange account, hardware wallet, or inheritance vault—and follow the specific process to access or transfer funds. Proper documentation and understanding of the wallet structure are crucial to avoid losing access or delaying distribution. The article highlights the challenges and solutions for crypto inheritance, emphasizing the need for clear estate planning and secure key management.
