PRACTICE · CRYPTO & DIGITAL ASSETS

Digital Asset Wealth & Succession

The traditional institutions built to protect real property—banks, executors, and probate courts—are fundamentally unequipped to secure digital assets. When an estate holds seven figures in Bitcoin or an illiquid portfolio of tokenized assets, standard wills fail catastrophically, often exposing private keys to the public record. We structure the equivalent of a private bank for assets that have no bank, ensuring wealth transitions quietly, securely, and seamlessly to the next generation without risking loss or theft.

Principles · 01

How we draft the matter.

Every engagement is composed against these commitments. They shape the protections we add, the questions we ask, and the document that leaves the file.

§ 01

Keys never enter probate

Probate is public. If a private key enters the public record, the asset is gone. We use tailored trust architectures to bypass the court entirely.

§ 02

Eliminating single points of failure

A hardware wallet in a safe is not a succession plan. We structure multi-signature custody that survives incapacitation or loss.

§ 03

Fiduciaries must have authority

Without explicit RUFADAA language, exchanges will freeze your accounts upon death. We draft the exact clauses that force compliance.

What we watch · 02

What can break the matter.

These are the terms, structures, and practical risks that usually decide whether the work holds when the file is tested.

The work · 03

Four steps. One engagement.

Each step is concrete; each step has a deliverable. The scope is defined, the matter moves, and the file closes.

  1. 01

    Inventory & Architecture

    We map the full extent of your digital holdings, separating custodial exchange accounts from self-custodied hardware wallets.

  2. 02

    Trust Integration

    We draft tailored, crypto-native trusts designed specifically to hold digital assets without triggering unnecessary tax events.

  3. 03

    Custody Engineering

    We establish multi-signature protocols and designate trusted technical fiduciaries to ensure redundancy.

  4. 04

    Stress Testing

    We simulate an incapacitation event to verify that your fiduciaries can actually access and move the funds when required.
