Thanks so far for your suggestions and opinions on the secure, inheritable seed storage topic.
It's a hell of effort for me to quote everybody's contribution i'm referring to here, so i round it up in this unilateral post, to avoid to totally mess it up.
I now consider storing one half of every seed in a place where i must have at least personal contact to a human to access the seedwords.
That means safe (yuck) or notary. Maybe both, half seedwords in the safe, passphrase at the notary for post mortem inheritance reasons or something like that.
JJG: I didn't tell the bank's employee anything about crypto, and i would i never do so. I just mentioned folded, single paper sheets and little items. I guess i will keep the ledger(s) at home for everyday use and to follow the two-level anti-thug advice of sacrificing a few % of my crypto (by mindrust, if i'm correct), which was also brilliant.
Somebody was curious about the country, it's Austria (the one without the kangaroos).
The finger is doing nice, at least no signs of infection and i can use it for typing again. This should end well, and i regard that as a warning by the universe, to follow safety standards with cutting tools. Even worse, i have a pair of kevlar gloves lying around. I should have used them. Once i rammed the base of my thumb into a sharp sheet metal edge, which got it cut half off, with a lot more blood, hospital, stitches and temporary nerve damage involved. Doctors did beautyful work, ten years later the scar is very light and thin.
Thanks for the love, practical tips and support so far #nohomo
I'm in read-only mode for the rest of the day or two, need to make a few wood/metal rings (jewellery) soon, which still needs quite some research and experimentation, and also craft another two of those bitcointalk anniversary ebony poker chips, using a different process.
There's better than that... Satoshi labs have BIP (and have implemented there own version) for a key sharing on the trezor:

Now I have mailed out shares to my most trusted friends and family, signed and sealed with an explanation letter so that if anything happened to me it can all be recovered. Made A LOT of shares and most of them are required for recovery.
Originally I did split the seed words, but that does mean the number words required to be guessed is greatly reduced. I my case they had 2/3rds of the words, so just 1/3rd had to be guessed. With the Shamir there's no worries there.
Just would be nice for others to implement the BIP!
