Cryptocurrency and digital financial assets present unique challenges in legacy planning because they combine irreversible security measures with complete dependence on credential access. Unlike traditional financial institutions that can work with estate executors, blockchain assets are permanently inaccessible without proper keys and credentials.

Billions of dollars in cryptocurrency have been permanently lost due to inadequate legacy planning. When someone dies without sharing wallet credentials, seed phrases, or hardware wallet access information, those assets become irrecoverable. No customer service department can help, no court order can retrieve them, and no technical workaround exists.

The main challenges include lost seed phrases mean permanent and irreversible loss of funds, private keys cannot be recovered through any customer support, and hardware wallets require both physical device access and pin code. These security features that protect assets during life become absolute barriers after death without proper planning.

DeathNote provides secure, encrypted storage for seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, and exchange credentials. You can document complex security setups like multi-signature wallets, hardware wallet PINs, and recovery processes while ensuring this sensitive information only reaches designated beneficiaries after proper verification.

The stakes are particularly high with cryptocurrency because mistakes are permanent. Take time to document every wallet, every seed phrase, every security layer. Test your recovery process while you're alive to ensure your beneficiaries can actually access what you intend to leave them.
