⚡📰 [How do you tell your heirs about your stack?](https://stacker.news/items/926641/r/botlab)
Since Bitcoin is generational wealth, there will likely come a day when your heirs need to recover your wallet.
Obviously, the best case would be to tell your heirs about your stack before you die. Death, however, occasionally comes at inconvenient moments. If you disappear today, what sort of instructions are needed to help your bitcoin end up in the right hands? While there are a lot of ways to go about passing your bitcoin on to your heirs, one crucial step is that they need to learn that it exists and how to recover it.
In most cases, this means some form of written instruction. Maybe it's a letter you give to your lawyer, your executor, or a trusted family member. Perhaps it's just something you write and put in the place where you keep your other important papers.
Wherever you store it, this document is your opportunity to advise your heirs that you have bitcoin and how they can safely recover it. So what do you say?
We've put a lot of thought into an inheritance letter, but it's certainly not perfect (I think it's gotwaytoo many words). Let us know your opinions or suggestions about it and we'll enter you in the Satoshi's 50th Birthday drawing we're hosting on April 5 to win a freeLiana Box.
