If I die, my family can use my death certificate to rescue all my money from bank and appropriate all my posses.
But not bitcoin, I was thinking about how to leave bitcoins as inheritence in a safe way, minimizing risks of be stolen by my own family (still if I trust my family, they can store improperly the keys and be stolen, or forced to deliver).
The perfect solution, in my opinion, is a mechanism whithout intervention that reveal my keys to my family, this could be done if I do not access some service for a month, or if I don't store some stuff in the blockchain for a month or ... I don't know a solution. And only my family could access my keys, possibly they have keys that allow then to access my keys.
An good solution could be some artifact, like a file, that I can send to my family, or left it stored online and thar artifact could reveal my keys only to my family.
My basic ideia is:
1 - Encript the keys with your password, but must be a very strong password, resilient to brute force atack.
2 - Print the encripted keys in paper or some more durable medium and store securely in your home.
3 - Reveal to your family a limited set of characters with wich they can sucefuly find the password using brute force, in a short time.
4 - If you die, your family must get into your home/safe box, get the encripted keys and use the characters to perform a brute force atack in order to get the keys.
Does anyone have think about leaving bitcoin as inheritance? Is there already some solution to this? Thoughts?
Remind, Covid-19 is over here.
Although it would be fairly smart to leave bitcoins as inheritance, many laws on intestate and succession would have to be then revised or repealed in order to cater to this idea. I am not familiar with the all laws of inheritance but because bitcoins are a new type of monetary exchange, creating laws for these would take several hearings, modification and various votings for the legislative body. Moreover, before they can even get to the point of hearing this in their respective congress, these lawmakers have to have extensive knowledge on this topic, the pros and cons. Keep in mind that there are many people to consider when taking this to congress and for them to actually hear it.
