An heir finds 24 words on a steel plate and has no idea whether that is a backup or one key of a multisig. The most common failure in passing on Bitcoin is not a lost seed, it is a missing manual.

The Estate Planner generates 13 printable forms: wallet inventory, storage locations, the order in which the heir should act, version and record. The rule that matters: nothing critical is ever typed on a computer. Locations, access routes and where the master password lives come out of the printer as blank lines and are filled in with a pen. What never touched the computer cannot leak from it. The tool does not even ask for amounts or seed words.

One HTML file, runs offline in the browser, no server, no storage. Fact-checked, security-audited, tested on Tails. German and English in the same file, checksum on the page. Free.

Note: the legal and tax sections cover German inheritance law. Check your own jurisdiction.

A tool from the workshop pack for the upcoming volume 4 on Bitcoin self-custody. Not legal or tax advice.
