How do I plan an estate that includes cryptocurrency?

H33 designates named beneficiaries per digital asset. Life Validation runs continuously; dormancy triggers automatic estate activation with signed audit trail.

What happens to crypto in a will?

Traditional wills point to seed phrases or hardware wallets that executors have to find. H33 makes the transfer cryptographic — beneficiaries named on-chain, executor authority unlocks automatically.

Is H33 estate planning legally binding?

H33 does not replace a will · it executes what a will already grants. Combine it with your attorney's estate documents for legal + technical coverage.

Decision

Estate planning for crypto.

Cryptocurrency lost to death is a growing problem. Most wallets can't be recovered without a seed phrase or hardware device. Even with those, executors often can't find them in time. H33 makes digital estate planning first-class: named beneficiaries, dormancy triggers, executor authority — and none of it requires anyone to find a physical object.
