May your Dad be well again tread93. Having a plan for your assets is very important especially for the digital assets that has lots of security in order to have access to them. Those that have lost their private keys in the early days of bitcoin still do not have access to their portfolios, that’s to say how this keys are important to pass that wealth you’ve been saving to your generation when they want to have access to the wealth you’ve kept for them. It is good to have privacy but I believe there’s always someone that you can trust and will have access to your portfolio later when the need arises.
You better pray this "attorney" guy is not addicted to gambling or drugs and even without that, he is just a man like everyone else.
I would never trust any attorney nor bank as they both have been caught numerous times stealing and lying.
If such people have been caught several times stealing and lying that doesn’t mean they are all the same. For him to have given his private keys to an attorney does not make it vulnerable to be stolen if the attorney is a trusted person he can rely on. Who you know and trust may differ from the person the other person knows, it’s just the way life is and it may not even be a family member because sometimes most of them are wicked and will do for you what you never expected of them.
