Using The Blockchain From the Afterlife

Now I know I’m probably a bit older than many of you reading this, so thinking about how to be sure my assets are divided up after my death is probably something I’ve given more thought to than you have. But I’m truly excited about Eternitas because it can solve several long standing problems that surround wills, but can also solve a modern day problem of disbursing electronic assets.

I’ve personally watched the family squabbles over the disposition of assets after a loved one’s death, and received the sky high bills from the probate attorneys. Being able to avoid some of the issues mentioned by Dr. Matuschek is a a good thing, but really caught my eye was the ability to use blockchain tech to handle electronic assets. What happens to what is in my digital wallets if I got hit by a bus tomorrow has been in the back of my mind for a while.

Many people have discovered blockchain apps that help them run a side gig. They have at least one digital wallet. Many of us are hodlers of one or more cryptocurrency coins. Do YOU remember your key? I sure don’t! Would the people you want to leave those crypto assets know where to find it, or even know to look for it? If you sent it to someone, can that someone be trusted not to clean you out while you were still living?

Veritas may be the answer to this and many other problems that surround the distribution of assets upon death. Here’s how it will work:

It can work with virtual assets such as cryptocurrencies, passwords, photos, videos and will soon also work with tokenized real assets such as real estate, shares, precious metals, artworks, insurance claims.

Autonomy
Create an immortal coded will and execute it with the help of a decentralized network.
Distribute your assets from the afterlife.

Safety
No single human party is involved in the distribution of your funds and may change or destroy your will.
People get what you want them to get.

Ease of Use
It’s quicker, easier and cheaper as no lawyer or notary is needed and the inventory of your assets is already done by yourself.

This is a truly good, useful, and innovative use for blockchain technology.

that I’m definitely going to attend to find out more about this “virtual will” project. While I know none of us likes to think about our eventual demise, having a painless, low-cost way of making sure our assets are passed on the way WE want them to be distributed is something we should all take a closer look at.

Watch this space for more information, and be sure to attend the TwitterPitch if you can. You never know when that bus bumper will have YOUR name on it!
