To be honest, many lawyers do not obey their rules, so you have to be careful in choosing a lawyer that you trust as a bridge for your inheritance, but the best way to protect your inheritance, especially if you have a lot of BTC, is to entrust its validity to a lawyer rather than family because usually families will become greedy when dealing with money that has a large nominal value, there is a family of mine who once used the services of a lawyer as a bridge for their inheritance and my family wrote a statement that the lawyer was only a document keeper and inheritance intermediary so that the lawyer would not mess with the inheritance.

This question can only be difficult if one isn't raised in a well disciplined home. I grow up in a home where looking out for my  family is the first priority of every family member and trusting each with valuables isn't considered a difficult decision because you surely know that at the end, you're definitely going to get a return of what your values. Thanks to the norms and values of my family, I will easily entrust my private keys to my family than a lawyer regardless of my personal experience with the said lawyer

This is actually quite a good debate to have. I suppose, it all depends on the trust level between yourself and your family. If you can trust your family with your life, then you might have confidence in being able to trust them with your Bitcoin. Though I guess, there is no harm in both teaching family member(s) about Bitcoin and creating a contract to bind any agreement about custody? Or even simpler, multiple family members, and a multi-signature wallet?

Emphasis on 'trust'. I see nothing wrong in teaching a trusted family member about Bitcoin and still employing the services of a lawyer to keep some private information for me, just for inheritance purposes. Teaching my family member about Bitcoin does not necessarily mean I must disclose my seed phrase. My family and those around me still need to know about Bitcoin and decide how they want to benefit from it. I can teach anyone about Bitcoin, but access to my bitcoins is what I will not handle carelessly.

If you cannot trust your family members then who else you can trust, especially about the Bitcoin assets that you have, lawyers are used to protect your bitcoin assets in writing and letters made based on legal law because this country is alivebased on applicable law.

But you shouldn't trust Bitcoin to your lawyer, they can manipulate your letter after you are no longer in this world and your family certainly doesn't know that, for me Bitcoin assets can only be trusted in the family, no others.

I dont know on how Will works but, if we do just that simply have that folder with having those seed phrases/keys and the main instructions on how to access those coins then for sure its not that hard for those who do inherit that one or simply with your family. Then try to make it seal and sign that one and trying to make up some checks? Dont know on how it works but if you dont trust up your lawyer and whose in custody of that piece of folder then you wont be having any choice but to trust up only your family. I couldn't blame out someone why they do have that lack of trust into their family members on which this is actually situation on which you are needing to deal on with.

We are thriving to accumulate Bitcoin as much as we can and this is for the sake of our family on which they are the ones will be benefiting it out in the first place. It is just that there are things on which that not needed up to be shared to have that not necessary access. We do know that once these keys are exposed then there are tendencies that it could be stolen or be spent up without the permission and this is mainly on what we dont really like into this kind of particular situation thats why we do have that hesitation on trusting them.

If you can entrust other physical assets to your family, the value of which may exceed the value of your bitcoin investment - then why are you so worried about your bitcoin? I have no reason to distrust family - but I would seek full custody of it myself for the sake of asset security. Distrusting family members essentially just shortens the relationship between the two - but this may depend on the culture of each country.

Heirs have a right to a share of our property regardless of how they got it. I have no plans to involve a lawyer or notary to handle any of that - meaning, I trust my family completely even though the bitcoin custody is entirely mine.

Some lawyers are good at handling confidential information; so are some family members. But everyone is not the same; even someone under oath can break an agreement and go for his or her selfish interests, and if you must trust anyone, it should not be based on what you think others have said about a particular set of people, lawyers or family members. That trust should be earned and merited and not just a random decision based on others analysis.

And to be on the safer side, I will prefer to share either part of my holdings information with a family member and part of the information with my legal team, which will be the one to give direction to the family member on how to use the holdings; neither can have full access to it, as both parties will come to an agreement before anything can be done, and they will also not be able to know this themselves.

Blood siblings can break up their relationships for property, and if the Seeds/Phases of the Bitcoin wallet are left between them, they may betray them at some point. It would not be right to trust your own wife in this case because someone can betray a relationship for the sake of Bitcoin.

For me personally, the most appropriate choice as heirs is my wife and children, because I have been involved in the Bitcoin world since I was with them and they are the ones who have the right to receive it when I die. Because my wife will continue to struggle to raise and provide proper education for the children and also fulfill all their needs that I have to leave for them and also with the existence of a will when my wife remarries, my children will have full rights to my inheritance.

It's that simple, without having to involve a lawyer because choosing a trusted lawyer is not easy and also costs money. And there are also people who don't trust their family because they know what their family is like and there's nothing wrong with trusting because not everyone is the same and only we know our family and if we choose the right person I think it's okay and everything will be fine if we know everything well to determine the best choice.
