If you get person wey you trust, you fit tell am where to find your seed phrase in case something happens to you, but remember say no be everybody get person wey dem go fit trust, so you no fit advise such people to tell someone about their seed phrase, if they do so, they will lose their bitcoins before anything ever happens to them, now how does that sound.

That being said, there are a few ways your family go fit inherit your bitcoin when you are no more, that is they would not have access to it as long as you are around, only after. Use the forum search button to find types of bitcoin inheritance plans and choose the one you think is best for you, that is if you want such a plan to begin with.

Na true say person no fit tell when den fit die but to tell person self risk dey am, base on some person fit betray you that one na life .

As for some person u fit tell your wife, or your pikin, or self e get some login way you fit write somewhere way be say when them dey check your documents Dem fit still see am.

People dey different sha, you sabi people way dey around you so you go just do watin go work for you.

So what if the same people you seems to call your family members then suddenly betrays you, or probably kills you, simply because they want to inherit your Bitcoin? What happens then? Because, inasmuch as this thread is trying to create an awareness unto people to reduce the number of lost Bitcoin that has ever been recorded, for me I would have said that though, it's good to tell close relative that we have an investment in Bitcoin, it's not idea to tell them the exact amount in it. As knowing what it contains may trigger certain people doing the unthinkable.

The truth is that, those you trust will be the ones to disappoint you, that's why most people find it difficult to tell another person about their seed phrase, because even without you having any hospital emergency or even death, they might go behind you to do the unthinkable if they are tempted. Although I agree with you that it is good to tell someone you love, in some cases your wife or your husband about your seed phrase but you should do that bearing in mind that anything can happen,

I want you both to be sincere. And I think you have bitcoin in your wallet. And what you say here will be a good examples for other comments. Nobody like to die but dead is inevitable and can occur at anytime but nobody pray for it. But if it happens now, what will happen to your saved bitcoin?  Will they die with you or someone can use it to invest for your family? Before I create this thread, I have think from all the angles and taking some examples of some users and I didn't just create this thread for writing or creating a thread shake. This thread has an in-depth reasoning. If you read Coyster, Charles-Tim, NurseHub, SatoPrincess comments, you would understand that they find alternative way to the Op because this is a critical issue. And whenever dis matter is raised, many users would only say, I don't want to lose.my coins therefore I can't give out my seed phrase. Nobody will ask us to give them our seed phrase but it will be very bad of us that we have funds in the wallet and we died without telling anyone who we trust and our children suffer to survive in the world. And if our children hear that we have enough money that they can use to invest in business and live a comfortable live but they can't access it because they don't know the seed phrase, they will never be happy with us. If the multisigs is good then we should use it with the trusted person.

I gave one good example in the Op and if we are in-depth reasoning we will understand the important of sharing the seed phrase either to with a wife or children. We only thinking of losing the coins if we tell someone, but you both have not answered the question, if we die today what will happen to the bitcoin we have in the wallets? Yes na you get the coins and they are your assets and if you don't someone to know about them, no prob and nobody will drag with you because you are di onwer of the funds.

Let me yan u story. Do you know dat there are lot of billions in the banks that have no owners again because owners are dead and no next of kins to go and claim them so the Bank Managers and Bankers who know those Cash in the Bank transfer them to their accounts and used them.  I went you to tell us, be sincere if you die today, who will claim your coins to help your family, since you don't trust anyone to know your seed phrase. And I believed the coins will also follow you. Those who died yesterday didn't plan for it. God forbid it will not happen to anyone here but we have to understand nature and not saying it will never happens. It is good to tell someone whom you trust. Or as other comments as been said, multisigs is also good if other person can have access to it in time of emergency.

Tell am.

Infact dis na di main reason why person wey hold a unique asset like Bitcoin suppose tell atleast one person about im seed phrase. Everybody get big plans about di future but nobody know exactly wetin go happen tomorrow so we must plan for unforseen eventualities. Nothing like next of kin or where deceased person family members go go make inquiries about dem deceased loved ones Bitcoin to claim am. Bitcoin de decentralized and e no get any centralized office, e no get means of identifications say na you get your Bitcoin for Blockchain except through your seed phrase.

If anything like death happen to a Bitcoin hodler and nobody know im seed phrase all im coins don become donation wey nobody go fit to claim. E no de necessary say who you tell about your seed phrase go know di amount of Bitcoin wey you get. But if di person don search through all im Loved ones and im no see person wey im fit to trust, dat one na different matter.

I share this view for comment wey I make yesterday for a thread wey de against trusting another person with our seed phrase. https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5509973.msg64569069#msg64569069

I don reason this matter many times, the truth is to show your loved ones you trusted so much and tell them to use it to care about the family when you are no more, nobody sabi tomorrow, cos e go pain reach your family and even yourself for grave, because na you go bury yourself with what you left behind to be easily accessible by the precious loved ones available. If it happens to be that a dad kept his pk to his children before his dismiss then that's a huge blessing to the children, at least they can maintain and start new life off there.

Our people dey fear to talk about death. Na him make life insurance policy no dey go market for Niaja. I remember when I finish school na so I get job for insurance company, baba nobody wan talk about life insurance because we think say na death sentence. Na this our perception towards preparing for the unknown na him dey make most people die without will or other preparation.

Baba you give us better information and I thank you well well for reminding us. Nobody dey pray to die but life dey unpredictable, so we need to prepare. The best option na to tell person wey you trust about your Bitcoin. For people wey don marry and get pikin the thing dey very simple for them. As long as you get good wife, she go use your money take care of your children if you no dey. So na to just show your wife everything because my Bitcoin no go bi donation to our ecosystem. 

This method still require trust, so if you trust the people wey you wan share your keys with, e better make you just give the person your seed phrase, instead of this. I talk so because if you create a 2-of-3 multisig wallet for example, you come hold one key, carry the remaining two keys give two of your family members, the two of them go fit still team up to take your money, because wetin dem need na two keys to broadcast a transaction and they both have one key each, which makes it two.

Revealing your wallet seed phrase isn't a good idea, there are things that are supposed to be kept private and this is one of them. There are people that share their seed phrase probably with someone they trust but this isn't safe because you might get hacked. Always be vigilant about securing it, if you are new to crypto you wouldn't really know how important it is untill you make on or two mistakes. One common mistake a lot of newbies make is not saving their seed phrase, I ve done something like that before and I lost a lot of money
