Paperback • UK delivery included

Cryptoassets are increasingly turning up in estates.

The difficult part isn’t knowing what Bitcoin is. It’s knowing what to do when a client owns digital assets, an executor discovers a wallet after death, access information is missing, or ownership, authority and control aren’t as straightforward as they first appear.

Cryptocurrency & Estate Planning – 2026 Practitioner Edition has been written specifically for UK practitioners who need to deal confidently with these issues in everyday professional work.

The emphasis is practical: identifying holdings, asking the right questions, recording information appropriately, understanding the distinction between access and authority, and recognising where specialist input may be needed.

What the book covers

IDENTIFY Recognising cryptocurrency and other digital assets and asking clients the right questions.
OWNERSHIP & AUTHORITY Understanding the important distinctions between ownership, control, access and legal authority.
WILLS & ESTATE PLANNING Practical considerations for wills, LPAs, instructions, record-keeping and client conversations.
WALLETS & ACCESS Exchanges, wallets, self-custody, private keys and recovery information — including what practitioners should and shouldn’t hold.
PROBATE Locating cryptoassets after death, dealing safely with devices and recovery information, and approaching incomplete or difficult estates.
TAX & VALUATION Practical issues around valuation, record-keeping, tax and estate administration.
MORE COMPLEX ASSETS DeFi, staking, NFTs and cross-border considerations.
PRACTICAL TOOLS Checklists, practitioner templates, worked examples and practical processes for day-to-day client work.

Written for practitioners, not cryptocurrency enthusiasts

You don’t need to understand blockchain code or become a cryptocurrency specialist.

You do need to recognise when digital assets may be present, know which questions to ask, understand where the risks sit and recognise when specialist support may be appropriate.

This book focuses on those practical professional issues rather than trying to turn practitioners into crypto technicians.

The aim is simple:

Help you deal with digital assets in a way that is practical, proportionate and professionally appropriate.

Who is it for?

Will-Writers

Building digital-asset questions and appropriate planning into the client conversation.

Estate Planners

Understanding how cryptocurrency ownership, access and authority affect effective estate planning.

Probate Practitioners

Dealing with cryptoassets discovered after death, particularly where records or instructions are incomplete.

Private Client Solicitors

A practical reference for the increasingly common digital-asset issues arising in private client work.

About the author

Simon Dyer is Managing Director of Plutus Crypto Consulting, providing practical cryptocurrency and digital-asset training and support to professionals working in wills, estate planning and probate.

His work focuses on helping practitioners understand the real-world issues created by digital assets — particularly identification, access, authority, security and what happens when planning has been inadequate.

The book draws on that training, practitioner discussions and practical casework to turn a technically complex subject into something professionals can actually use.
