H33 Custody Asset Custody Crypto Inheritance

Asset Custody · Solution

If you own crypto, your heirs probably won't see it.

Industry estimates put the share of lost Bitcoin at roughly one in five. Most of it isn't stolen — it's stranded. Seed phrases die with the people who memorized them. Crypto Inheritance from H33 Custody removes the seed phrase from the inheritance chain.

The problem with crypto wills

Estate attorneys describe the same scene over and over: a family arrives after a death knowing the deceased held cryptocurrency, but with no way to access it. The wallet address is on a screenshot. The recovery phrase isn't. The exchange account is locked behind two-factor authentication tied to a phone the family doesn't have. The traditional will names the assets but offers no operational path to them — and the wallet vendor has nothing useful to say about who's entitled to recover access.

Designate beneficiaries directly on the custody account

H33 Crypto Inheritance treats your digital holdings the way a brokerage account or insurance policy treats them. You designate beneficiaries on the custody record itself. You define the proportions, the conditions, and the timing. When the event happens, the beneficiaries verify themselves and the holdings transfer through the same identity process that originally placed them in custody — no seed phrase required.

Configurable succession rules

Time-locked release. Probate verification. Trustee discretion. Multi-signer beneficiary consent. Pour-over into a designated trust. Each succession protocol is configurable, auditable, and verifiable years after the original setup. Your estate attorney can build the rules. Your beneficiaries inherit according to those rules — not according to whoever found the recovery card first.

Audit trail your executor can use

Every custody event — designation changes, beneficiary additions, succession protocol updates — produces a verifiable record. When your executor presents the estate, the chain of custody is provable end-to-end. No mystery wallets. No 'we think there might be more crypto' line in the inventory.
