Heir Access Planning

The greatest risk of any digital inheritance plan is not the death of the owner — it is the inability of heirs to access critical information when it matters most.

What Is Heir Access Planning?

Heir Access Planning ensures that trusted family members, beneficiaries or executors can securely access important information after your death or permanent incapacity.

This includes cryptocurrency wallets, online accounts, encrypted documents, passwords, personal messages and legal documentation.

Common Problems

🔒

Nobody Knows The Keys

Family members know assets exist but have no technical information to recover them.

📱

Accounts Become Inaccessible

Smartphones, password managers and MFA devices may become impossible to access.

📄

Missing Documentation

Heirs inherit assets legally but lack instructions and documentation.
