             Earlier this year, Ryan Klein had a near-death experience.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             While cleaning out a gutter at his California home, the 32-year-old IT professional took a misstep and tumbled 10 feet off a ladder into a fortuitously placed wintergreen shrub.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Sprawled out on the ground, gazing up at the cerulean sky, a terrifying thought crossed his mind.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             “I realized that my wife didn’t have access to my cryptocurrency,” he told
             <em>
              The Hustle
             </em>
             . “If I’d died that day, that money would’ve just disappeared.”
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             The following weekend, Klein took action: He wrote down his private keys and account passwords, typed up detailed instructions on how to access his holdings (~$77k worth of various coins), and entombed the information in a small safe in his closet.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Klein is one of a growing number of crypto investors who are beginning to give serious thought to the afterlife of their bitcoin.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             And a burgeoning digital asset inheritance industry is taking note.

             If Klein had died that day, it’s likely that one of two things would’ve happened to his assets:

              , a decedent (typically a spouse) would apply for probate, and then his state would’ve designated an administrator to dole them out according to a formula.

            </ol>
            <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             A will stipulates who gets what, but it generally doesn’t include a comprehensive list of a deceased person’s assets. It’s the job of an

             Traditional investments (say, a savings account at a bank) are relatively easy to find, access, and delegate with a death certificate and other legal documentation.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
