What Plutus does

Helping you deal with digital assets without turning you into a crypto expert

Plutus Crypto Consulting helps estate planning professionals understand the practical issues around cryptocurrency, ask better client questions and build safer processes.

  • Recognise when cryptocurrency and digital assets may be relevant.
  • Ask useful fact-finding questions without collecting information you shouldn’t hold.
  • Understand wallets, exchanges, private keys and seed phrases at the level your role requires.
  • Separate technical access from legal authority.
  • Know when a client or estate needs further support.
Who we help

Built around the work you already do

Training and support is designed primarily for will-writers, estate planners, probate practitioners, solicitors, private client teams and professional membership organisations.

You don’t need a technical background. The focus is on making the subject understandable, practical and relevant to client conversations.

Why this needs a different approach

Crypto isn’t simply another line on the asset schedule

With traditional assets there is usually a recognisable institution, process or professional record to follow. Cryptocurrency can work very differently.

01

No central organisation to call

There may be no branch manager, land registry or central provider capable of restoring access or confirming ownership.

02

Access isn’t authority

Being technically able to open a device, account or wallet is not the same as being legally entitled to deal with the assets.

03

Security matters

Seed phrases, private keys and recovery information need careful handling. Recording them in the wrong place may expose the assets.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Plutus and crypto estate planning

Do you provide financial advice?
No. Plutus provides training, education and practical consultancy. We don’t recommend investments, coins or tokens and we don’t provide regulated investment advice.
Do you help clients buy or sell cryptocurrency?
No. We don’t provide trading services or tell clients what cryptocurrency they should buy or sell.
Do I need to understand cryptocurrency before attending a workshop?
No. The training is designed for professionals with little or no previous crypto knowledge. The terminology and technology are explained in plain English and linked back to estate planning.
Who is the training for?
Primarily will-writers, estate planners, probate professionals, solicitors, private client teams and professional membership organisations.
Can you help with probate or bereavement cases involving crypto?
Yes. Plutus can help professionals understand what assets may exist, where information may be found, what practical steps may be needed and which risks should be avoided. We don’t take control of assets and can’t guarantee recovery.
Should private keys or seed phrases be written into a will?
No. Private keys and seed phrases should not be included in a will. They can provide control over assets and need a separate, secure process.
What is the difference between access and authority?
Access means being technically able to open or use an account or wallet. Authority means being legally entitled to act. A person can have one without the other.
Can you train a whole firm or professional membership group?
Yes. Training can be delivered online, face-to-face or as part of an internal development programme, conference or membership event.
Do you work with solicitors as well as will-writers?
Yes. Plutus works with will-writers, estate planners, probate practitioners, solicitors and private client professionals.
How do I book a workshop?
You can view upcoming workshops and book directly through the Plutus workshops page . If you’d rather discuss team training or a bespoke session first, use the contact page and send me a brief outline of what you’re looking for.
