Secure Your Clients' Bitcoin Legacy
Your clients already hold Bitcoin, or soon will. When something happens to them, their family β and their executors β will look to you to help find it, secure it, and transfer it. Without a clear plan, that Bitcoin can simply disappear, and it often looks like a planning failure.
Our collaborative security model and Estate Plan Protocol, designed specifically for Bitcoin, give your firm a documented, repeatable framework so clients can pass on their digital wealth with confidence β and you can demonstrate that you addressed the risk.
Why Law Firms Partner with The Bitcoin Adviser
The Bitcoin Adviser specialises in the practical side of Bitcoin estate planning β security, access, and recovery β so your firm can focus on the legal work. We help you move beyond βmentioning Bitcoin in the Willβ to a robust, documented process that actually works when a client dies or loses capacity.
Our Estate Plan Protocol slots in alongside your Wills, trusts, and family constitutions, giving you a clear playbook for how Bitcoin will be located, secured, and released to the right people at the right time.
Expertise in Bitcoin Estate Planning
We work exclusively with Bitcoin. Your firm gains access to specialist knowledge, proven frameworks, and real-world experience from hundreds of estate situations involving digital assets.
Enhance β and Protect β Your Value Proposition
Being able to competently address Bitcoin in estate planning differentiates your firm and reduces the risk of complaints or disputes when digital assets are lost or overlooked.
Strengthen Client Relationships
Addressing your clientsβ Bitcoin holdings shows you understand their full balance sheet. That builds deeper trust and keeps you at the centre of their familyβs long-term planning.
Proven Track Record
Since 2016, zero satoshis lost. Our collaborative security model has been battle-tested across thousands of clients, delivering the kind of reliability high-net-worth families expect.
Seamless Integration
Our Estate Plan Protocol is designed to integrate with existing Wills, trusts, corporate structures and family constitutions, not replace them.
Stay Ahead of the Curve
Bitcoin is now a permanent feature of many client portfolios. Partnering with us ensures your firm has a clear, defensible approach before a difficult estate lands on your desk.
The Challenge for Legal Professionals
As Bitcoin becomes a meaningful part of client wealth, traditional estate planning approaches start to fail. βI leave my Bitcoin to my childrenβ is not enough when no one knows where it is, how much there is, or how to access it safely.
Why Traditional Estate Planning Falls Short
Bitcoin presents unique challenges that standard processes donβt address:
- Private keys and seed phrases β Access depends on specific technical information that is easily lost or mishandled.
- No central authority β There is no bank or registry to call if keys are missing or instructions are unclear.
- Irreversible loss β If access is lost, the Bitcoin is gone permanently. There is no reset button.
- Evolving regulation β Tax and reporting obligations for digital assets are still developing and easy to misinterpret.
- Security vs. accessibility β A system that is βtoo secureβ can be just as problematic as one that is too loose if beneficiaries canβt practically follow it.
Example: A client dies holding several million dollarsβ worth of Bitcoin. Their Will refers to βmy Bitcoinβ, but there is no recovery plan, no documentation, and no one is sure which wallets exist. The executor is left guessing, the family is distressed, and the value may be lost forever. It often looks β and feels β like a planning failure, even if the documents were technically correct.
The Bitcoin Adviser provides the specialised expertise and frameworks needed to prevent that situation and give your firm a clear process to rely on.
Collaborative Security for Secure Asset Transition
Our collaborative security model uses multi-signature (βmulti-sigβ) technology to ensure no single person or device is a point of failure. It is built from the ground up for intergenerational wealth transfer.
Multi-Signature Structure
Our 2-of-3 multi-signature model distributes control across three parties: the client, The Bitcoin Adviser, and an independent technology provider. Any two can act together; no single party can move Bitcoin alone.
No Single Point of Failure
If a client loses their key, becomes incapacitated, or passes away, the collaborative structure allows Bitcoin to be recovered by the remaining authorised parties and beneficiaries.
Client Autonomy
Clients retain meaningful control over their Bitcoin. We support them with security, procedures, and education, but we cannot unilaterally take or move their assets.
Transparency & Documentation
Processes are clearly documented, providing the transparency, audit trail, and evidence of prudence that legal professionals and beneficiaries expect.
A Playbook Built for Bitcoin Inheritance
Our Estate Plan Protocol is a structured framework for Bitcoin inheritance. It complements your Wills and trusts by dealing with the practical βhowβ of securing, locating, and releasing Bitcoin when it is needed.
We document inheritance instructions, beneficiary information, and recovery procedures in a format that integrates with your existing estate planning documents and advice.
We educate beneficiaries, trustees, and executors so they know what Bitcoin exists, who to contact, and what their role is when the time comes.
Clear, step-by-step recovery procedures are documented and rehearsed. Beneficiaries can follow them even if they have no technical background.
We work with your firm so the protocol is properly referenced in Wills, trusts, and family constitutions, and consistent with your legal advice.
We provide ongoing support and periodic reviews so the plan stays current as client circumstances, balances, and family structures change.
Why Lawyers Must Stay Informed
Understanding how Bitcoin actually works in practice is now part of protecting your clientsβ estates β and your firm. Our partnership gives you a path to address Bitcoin without having to become a technical expert in wallets and keys.

Regulatory Awareness
We stay current with evolving Bitcoin and digital asset practices, so the practical elements of your clients' plans align with tax, reporting, and compliance obligations in your jurisdiction.

Professional Liability

Competitive Advantage
Firms that can competently handle Bitcoin estate planning are better positioned to attract and retain high-net-worth clients who already hold digital assets.
