Ensuring your cryptocurrency is accessible to the right people when it matters most.
Cryptocurrency doesn't transfer like a bank account. Without proper planning, digital assets can be permanently lost when you pass away. We help individuals and families document their holdings, prepare secure access arrangements, and ensure their crypto is properly accounted for in their estate - working alongside estate lawyers and financial advisers across New Zealand.

Most people with significant cryptocurrency holdings have no plan for what happens when they die. Without one, those assets may be permanently inaccessible to the people who need them most. We help you fix that - discreetly, securely, and properly.
We act as the technical specialist - working alongside your solicitor and financial adviser to ensure your digital assets are properly planned for, documented, and ultimately distributed according to your wishes. All engagements are strictly confidential. A full NDA is signed before any work begins.

Designing arrangements that ensure your crypto is accessible after your death - without creating security risks while you're alive.
Reviewing and advising on the cryptocurrency provisions in your existing or planned will.
Acting as a trusted technical intermediary to assist with the distribution of cryptocurrency assets when the time comes.
Working alongside your existing advisers to ensure your digital assets are properly integrated into your broader estate plan.
Planning
Crypto doesn't transfer automatically
Unlike bank accounts, cryptocurrency cannot be accessed through a death certificate or probate order alone. Without access credentials, assets may be permanently inaccessible.
Your executor needs to know
If your executor doesn't know you hold cryptocurrency - or doesn't know how to access it - those assets may never reach your beneficiaries.
Security while you're alive
Simply writing down your seed phrase creates a security risk. Proper succession planning ensures access after death without exposing assets during your lifetime.
High-value holdings need specialist planning
For significant holdings, standard estate planning approaches are often inadequate. Specialist arrangements exist that provide robust succession without compromising security.
Peace of mind for your family
The last thing grieving family members should face is a technical puzzle. Proper planning means they can focus on what matters - not on trying to recover your Bitcoin.
