You finally sat down with the attorney and got your will signed. But when it comes to will and crypto, most people stop there and never realize the gap they just left for their family.
Why a Will Alone Doesn’t Cover Your Crypto
A will tells the court who gets your house and bank accounts. It does nothing for your Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken holdings. Those accounts only respond to email, password, and 2FA — none of which appear in a will.
What Most Families Discover Too Late
After the funeral, your executor is left calling exchange support with a death certificate and a will that the exchange doesn’t recognize. Some accounts are eventually recovered after weeks of paperwork. Many are lost forever.

How Vesperly Makes Sure Your Crypto Actually Reaches Your Family
- You add your exchange accounts and login details to your private zero-knowledge vault.
- You name your executor and set your heartbeat monitor.
- While you’re alive, you share the offline recovery code with them (one simple paper envelope).
- When the time comes, your executor uploads the death certificate.
- After our quick manual legal review, they receive a secure one-time link and use your pre-shared code to access everything — all decrypted on their device.
Now your family gets what you intended. No guesswork. No weeks of phone calls. No lost coins.
