5 Essential Crypto Inheritance Recovery Steps
Take your time. Nothing here needs to be done in a rush.
Secure everything
Keep computers, phones, USB devices, hardware wallets, notebooks and safe deposit contents together. Do not wipe, sell or reset anything.
Look for clues
Exchange emails, tax records, password manager entries, written word lists and small metal plates often point to wallets.
Confirm your authority
We will need a death certificate and proof that you are the executor or heir, such as letters of administration or a will.
Contact exchanges
Coins held at an exchange are released through its estate process, not through recovery. We can help you see which applies.
Recover self-held wallets
For wallets on devices or paper, we handle the technical work and document every step for the estate file.
Need guidance?
Describe what you found. We will tell you what it likely means.
Ask us →What Crypto Inheritance Recovery Usually Involves
Most estates we see include a mix: an exchange account, a wallet app on a phone and sometimes a hardware wallet or an old laptop. Each needs a different route. Crypto inheritance recovery brings them together into one clear picture for the family and the attorney.
- Searching devices for known wallet types
- Unlocking phones or apps where the family has legal authority
- Hardware wallet and seed phrase work
- Written reports for probate and tax records
Taxes and Paperwork
Inherited crypto may have tax and reporting rules. In the US, the IRS digital assets page explains the basics. Families in the UK, Germany, Australia and elsewhere should check local rules with their adviser.
We are not lawyers or tax advisers, but we work alongside them and provide the technical records they need.
Planning ahead? A short, sealed note listing where wallets are kept, stored with your will, saves your family a great deal of stress.

The executor, administrator or a legal heir with documents. We confirm authority before starting.
How is the fee handled for an estate?
The same way as any case: free review, written quote and payment only after recovery. See pricing.
