Crypto Estate Planning — Transferring Digital Assets under the Law
Cryptocurrency and other blockchain assets are part of the estate: they are subject to the general rules of the Civil Code on inheritance, with their own technical peculiarities — private keys, wallets and custodial decisions included. This page explains what enters the estate, whether future assets may be provided for in a will, and which formal rules are indispensable for the validity of the will.
The peculiarity of crypto planning is that access to the asset depends technically on the keys, while the legal transfer rests on the general norms of inheritance. Proper planning therefore combines two contours: the legal one — through a will — and the technical one — ensuring the accessibility of the keys.
