Lost Crypto Recovery differs from stolen asset recovery by focusing on technical assistance when the owner has lost access to their digital assets. This could be due to a forgotten password (Seed Phrase), damaged hardware (hard drive), or the absence of a crypto will for a deceased relative. Legal.ge offers access to IT and cybersecurity specialists who collaborate with lawyers to restore access through legal means. We do not perform "hacking" attacks but use advanced algorithms for password recovery (Brute-force, Smart guessing) and assist clients in communicating with exchanges during access restoration procedures. This service is vital for those who have assets but cannot use them.
What Does Lost Crypto Recovery Service Cover?
The service combines technical and legal support. It includes:
- Password Recovery: Using specialized servers to recover forgotten passwords if the client remembers parts of them.
- Damaged Wallet Recovery: Extracting data from physically damaged hardware (USB, HDD) in laboratory conditions.
- Inheritance Procedures: Gaining access to a deceased person's crypto assets based on an inheritance certificate and court order.
- Exchange Communication: Assisting in resetting 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) or unlocking a blocked account via legal requests.
- Misspelled Transactions: Technical assistance (where possible) when crypto was sent to the wrong network (e.g., ETH instead of BSC).
Real-World Scenarios Where You Need This Service
For example, you have an old "cold wallet" (Ledger) holding significant Bitcoin, but you forgot the PIN and part of the Seed phrase. If you enter the wrong code 3 times, the wallet wipes. Specialists will help you attempt recovery safely. Another example: your relative passed away, and you know they had an account on an exchange but don't know the password. An ordinary notary cannot help. A crypto lawyer will prepare the necessary documentation, contact the exchange's legal department, and ensure the legal transfer of assets to the heir.
Georgian Legal Framework
This service is fully legal and based on the "Civil Code" norms on property and inheritance. Cryptocurrency is recognized as a digital asset, so the owner has the right to dispose of it. In inheritance cases, the Inheritance Certificate and correct communication with international platforms requiring specific legal document formats are crucial.
The Process Step-by-Step
1. Diagnostics: Assessing the situation (what data the client has). 2. Agreement: Signing a contract with security guarantees. 3. Technical Work: Password generation or hardware repair in a secure environment. 4. Legal Procedure: (In inheritance cases) Court or exchange correspondence. 5. Transfer: Moving recovered assets to the client's new wallet.
