About the Program
Recently I was approached by an eminent Estates and Trusts Partner in New York City, after their firm was appointed Administrator when a 30-ish lawyer died intestate. Because he was last employed by a cryptocurrency exchange, it was reasonable to believe he had such assets. (This comparatively simple case was something the firm hadn't run into before — surprising to me.)
These days, an estate could contain not just any of a bewildering number of crypto currencies, but also season prepaid tickets to the Opera, and millions of frequent flier miles.
So this talk will describe some suggestions on how to identify and deal with these assets, which are quite a bit
like bearer bonds made modern — intended in some cases to be pseudonymous or anonymous, and stored in some cases in a variety of media/devices engineered to make access impossible without knowing a secret.
You are not the only one in this situation:
Law enforcement has a similar problem when they seize cryptocurrency the fruit of criminal activity, so we can learn from their misadventures. (Criminal, or at least, private activity is arguably the raison d'etre for some crypto coins.)
Learning objectives:
- What are the fundamental properties of crypto currency as an asset?
- How is it acquired, stored/protected and disposed of?
- How can you locate crypto-currency holdings of a decedent?
- If you can locate and access an asset, how can you handle and dispose of it in a safe way?
