Why do I need succession planning for my digital assets?
USD 20 B of digital assets are unrecoverably lost. This is 20% of all Bitcoins. Many of these assets are lost upon death or incapacity of the owner. If assets are not claimed they may become unclaimed property and be transferred to the local state or country
A Fifth of All Bitcoin Is Missing.
What happens to dormant crypto? Unclaimed assets in exchanges face regulatory uncertainty or risk being seized by local governments.
Here is a shocking number: $49 billion are unclaimed property in the US.
What are the problems with succession of digital assets?
Most alternative succession solutions will transfer control upon demise, but not properly transfer legal ownership. When off-ramping the digital assets, the successors will be unable to prove having obtained proper legal ownership, resulting in banks not accepting the assets or potentially even reporting them to local money laundering regulators.
Legal heirs do not know the whereabouts of the digital assets and therefore cannot access them.
Legal heirs cannot access the assets upon death because they do not know the keys or passwords.
In most cases legal heirs may obtain control over digital assets, but not legal ownership. This may cause considerable issues when off-ramping the assets.
In case of the owner's incapacity, the family cannot access the digital assets to pay for medical treatment.
Why can I not just share my passwords?
- Persons with access to your passwords will have unlimited access to your funds already during your lifetime. This may come with substantial risks.
- Sharing of passwords or use of multisig wallets grant only control over your assets, but not legal ownership to the respective persons upon your death. This may create considerable problems upon off-ramping for the persons not being able to prove proper legal ownership upon you passing away (such as no bank wanting to accept the assets or the banks reporting those persons to the local money laundering authorities).
- Most general terms and conditions of wallets and exchanges will not permit sharing of passwords. This may create significant problems upon off-ramping digital assets (such as no bank wanting to accept the assets or the banks reporting those persons to the local money laundering authorities).
- In order to transfer legal owernship upon death, specific formalities like a valid testament/will (which may have to comply with certain formalities such as notarized or handwritten) are required and that always a court will have to validate the post-mortem distribution in order to create proper legal ownership. Other methods only transfer control and therefor the transfer of those assets can be legally challenged later on.
Why can I not just make a will?
Because your will is handled by the court, several staff members of the court, the judge, a potential executor and others who will all have access to the content of the will. So, if you leave your passwords in your will together with the information of the exchange where the digital assets are held, it may be that the digital assets in your digital exchange have disappeared when your loved ones obtain legal access to the content of these wallets.

What is Digital Succession Plan?
Digital Succession Plan is a pioneer legal tech project which blends over 2000 year old legal tradition and legal certainty of the Roman lawfideicommissum with leading edge wallet security.
Digital Succession Plan provides a top-notch succession planning solution for digital asset owners through an easy to manage platform over the internet.
You — the original holder of the digital assets. Funds flow from your cold wallets in coordination with the Foundation.
The Panama Private Interest Foundation that holds full legal title over the digital assets, governed by the Protector and the Council.
The Protector — you — directs the Foundation. The Council provides governance and continuity. Together they ensure the succession is executed exactly as you defined.
Your cold wallets and the Foundation's wallet stay in sync through a documented funding & distribution channel — auditable and reversible at any time during your lifetime.
Under the hood, the platform combines: a Panama private interest foundation as the legal owner of the digital assets; MPC wallet technology that splits private keys across parties so no actor — including Digital Succession Plan — can move your assets alone; and KYC verification through Shufti Pro under FATF standards. The full IT platform has been reviewed end-to-end by an external, independent auditor.
