Unchained has 5 accounts, each with different rules for what happens when the account holder dies. Of those, 2 can name a trust as beneficiary or be retitled into a trust. The right combination of beneficiary designations and trust ownership can keep the entire portfolio out of probate.
Managing beneficiaries at Unchained is straightforward—changes can be made online and by phone. Trust funding is also available, allowing families to retitle accounts into a trust.
Unchained provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.

Frequently asked questions
Connections lets you register trusted family members on your Unchained setup so they have familiarity and context about where your Bitcoin is held and whom to contact, without granting them any access to your funds during your lifetime. It closes the most common failure in Bitcoin estates, which is not paperwork but heirs who do not know an Unchained account exists or where the key backup is. Combine it with the Inheritance Protocol (key succession) and either a TOD beneficiary or a Trust Vault (legal title) for a complete plan.
