A will is the wrong instrument for digital access, for three concrete reasons. First, once filed with the probate court a will becomes a public document — so a seed phrase, private key, or password written into it is published to the world. Never put access credentials in a will. Second, a pour-over will directing a hardware wallet into a trust is a dangerous legal fiction if no living person can produce the keys; the instruction is unenforceable against cryptography. Third — and least intuitive — using the decedent’s passwords to log into an account, even as the rightful executor, can violate the Computer Fraud And Abuse Act (CFAA) and the provider’s terms of service. Moral standing as an heir is not legal authorization; the fiduciary needs an explicit grant of authority.
