#98 - Bitcoin Inheritance Masterclass 101
Saturday, 28 March, 2026
Welcome to Bitcoin Inheritance Fundamentals Masterclass 101 — the essential episode for bitcoin holders who want to protect their digital wealth and ensure it reaches their loved ones safely.In a world where 'not your keys, not your coins' is gospel, most people still overlook one critical risk: what happens to your bitcoin when you die or become incapacitated? Without proper planning, your sats could be lost forever — locked behind inaccessible private keys, tangled in probate, or simply undiscovered by your family.This episode breaks down the fundamentals of bitcoin estate planning in clear, beginner-friendly language. I'll cover:The importance of having a will — why dying without one (intestacy) can leave your bitcoin in legal limbo and cause unnecessary stress, delays, and family disputes.Requirements for a valid will — what makes a will legally binding (in writing, properly signed, witnessed, and made with sound mind and testamentary capacity).Who is the executor and what do they do? — your chosen person (or professional) responsible for locating assets, paying debts, managing the estate, and distributing your bitcoin according to your wishes.Testamentary trusts — how these powerful tools can protect your inheritance, provide for minors or beneficiaries over time, control when and how bitcoin is accessed, and offer extra layers of security and tax efficiency.Powers of attorney — the vital documents that let a trusted agent manage your affairs (including digital assets) if you become unable to do so yourself.Most importantly, we'll show exactly how Bitcoin fits into the picture. From custody challenges and private key succession, to securely documenting access instructions without compromising security, granting your executor or trustee proper authority over digital assets, and avoiding common pitfalls that lead to permanent loss.Whether you're a HODLer with a small stack or significant holdings, this masterclass gives you the practical knowledge to build a bulletproof inheritance plan.I'm also building My Bitcoin Will — a simple, secure solution designed specifically for Bitcoiners to create and manage their bitcoin estate plans. It's coming soon, and I'm genuinely excited to share what it's all about, walk through how it works, and help you take the next step toward peace of mind.🔗 Useful links:Free Bitcoin Inheritance Stress Test: mybitcoinwill.comAlso, some gentle shilling from my side....if you don't know, I've written a book! - No Tenants, No Troubles: The Case for Digital Over Real Estate.
