I Scored 18 out of 100 on a Bitcoin Inheritance Test

About this episode
Tim took a free Bitcoin inheritance stress test and scored 18 out of 100. His weakest pillar was legal. So this episode is him learning alongside every parent listening.
So in episode 7 of Bitcoin After Us, Tim and Miguel bring in Dale Warburton (a trained lawyer, father, and founder of My Bitcoin Will) to walk us through the the Bitcoin plan every parent avoids: a comprehensive and complete Bitcoin Will that safely and successfully passes down your Bitcoin to your children. Get it wrong and your stack doesn't go to your kids... it disappears with you, or worse the State decides.
In this episode, you'll learn about the three gaps that sink a Bitcoin inheritance (legal, technical, education), why you can't put a seed phrase in a will, how a trust and a trustee protect kids without spoiling them, why 25 is the age Dale sets, and the kindest last thing you can do for your spouse. By the end, Miguel has a fire under him to finally get his done.
Find Dale at mybitcoinwill.com to learn more, and take the free stress test to get your own score.
