Crypto inheritance: access, deadlines and proving the source

The path depends on where the crypto was held: on an exchange, in a wallet whose seed phrase was found, or on a device without it. The deadline to accept the inheritance runs whether or not access has been gained.

First steps

  1. File to accept the inheritance on time, without waiting for access.
  2. Never enter a found seed phrase on 'balance check' websites.
  3. Do not guess the device PIN — after several wrong attempts it wipes itself.
  4. Before selling, collect the estate documents and evidence of how the deceased acquired the assets.
