Bitcoin Ready Badge
The industry standard for verifying attorney competency in Bitcoin estate planning
What is Bitcoin Ready?
The Bitcoin Ready badge is a professional verification that demonstrates an attorney's understanding of critical Bitcoin estate planning concepts. Through a comprehensive assessment, attorneys prove their knowledge in areas essential for protecting client digital assets.
Unlike generic estate planning, Bitcoin inheritance requires specialized knowledge of custody solutions, key management, and technical recovery procedures. The Bitcoin Ready program ensures attorneys understand these unique challenges before advising clients with significant cryptocurrency holdings.
Important Note:
The Bitcoin Ready badge indicates competency assessment completion, not legal expertise certification. Always verify an attorney's bar standing and relevant experience.
