Make sure my family gets my crypto
You can build a crypto will that runs itself: put long-term savings in a Safe with trusted relatives as co-owners, for example 2 of 3, so family can move funds if you cannot. Add a recovery module with a delay, so you can cancel any early takeover. Pair it with a one-page legal will. Skip these: handing anyone your seed phrase.

Chapter 1
Who knew?
A multisig can work like a will that executes itself, with no lawyer holding a seed phrase.
A recovery delay gives you time to cancel an early takeover.
Guardians do not all have to be crypto users; an email or SMS based guardian service can be one of them.
Setting up the whole family Safe on an L2 costs cents, not lawyer fees.
You must give someone your seed phrase or pay a custodian.
Creating a Safe on an L2 costs cents of gas, and adding a recovery module is another small transaction. A legal will still costs whatever a lawyer charges.

An agent flags odd transfers before relatives sign them.
Why it works A cosigner adds a check without holding the funds.

Heirs know the plan exists and how to start the claim.
Why it works Casa's waiting window only helps if someone knows to ask.

Questions
Do my relatives need crypto knowledge to co-own a Safe?
Each Safe owner needs a wallet and some basic training, so practise one small transfer together.
What if one Safe owner is untrustworthy?
Set a Safe threshold above one, such as 2 of 3, so no single owner can move funds alone.
Is a Safe a legal will?
No. A Safe is not a legal will, so pair it with one that names the assets and owners.
What does a family Safe cost to set up?
A Safe usually costs cents of gas to create on an L2, plus a small transaction for any recovery module.
If you vanished tomorrow, who would know where the door is, and could they open it together?
