If something happened to you tomorrow, could your family get to your Bitcoin?
A hardware wallet isn't an inheritance plan. TheHeirWay turns the setup you already have into a plain-English playbook your spouse or kids can actually follow—plus a 30-minute yearly practice drill using a $5 test wallet so you know they won't get stuck.
TheHeirWay never holds your coins, your keys, or your seed phrase.
Your family letter and device recovery guides are generated 100% locally in your browser. You never enter balances, wallet addresses, or seed words—and our built-in BIP-39 safety filter automatically blocks input if anyone tries to type seed words or private keys into a form field.
Why most self-custody setups fail the family test
Self-custody protects your Bitcoin from everyone—and that includes your family. When a holder passes away, there is no bank to call and no password reset. Heirs have to know the coins exist, where the physical backups live, whether a passphrase (“25th word”) or multisig descriptor is required, and how to avoid the recovery scammers waiting online.
“A hardware wallet isn't an inheritance plan. The missing piece is a path the family can follow if the guardian is gone — testable while you're alive, not a cipher or treasure hunt for the kids.”
“This is my last remaining Bitcoin concern: How to get it to my heirs when I die. My spouse has no idea about crypto and a seed phrase alone would be useless.”
Three printed documents + an annual 30-minute fire drill
The Family Master Letter
Starts with a red Page-1 Anti-Scam Shield, your personal note, trusted technical helpers, estate attorney contact, physical location map, passphrase warnings, and plain-English recovery steps for Coldcard, Trezor, Ledger, Jade, Bitkey, or Multisig.
Envelope Labels & Seal Log
Cut-out warning labels to tape directly onto your hardware device pouch and seed plate envelope so nobody accidentally wipes a device or types seed words into a phishing website, plus a tamper-seal check table.
The 30-Minute Family Drill
Hand your spouse or heir a $5 throwaway practice wallet and Document A, start our 30-minute drill timer, and watch where they hesitate—so you can fix confusing instructions while you're still here.
Simple pricing that works with the wallet you already own
Casa starts at $250/yr and Nunchuk at $480/yr—and both require moving your Bitcoin into their multisig setup. TheHeirWay works with your existing hardware wallet for a one-time price.
