hello gfy

anyone have if is possible any idea how to recover bitcoin money from someone who died? family have all the proof, just need to know where to submit?

thank you in advance for any informations gfy! :thumbsup

where were the bitcoins stored? if in his own wallet, you are shit out of luck, zero chance of recovering it unless you find the keys...

This can get hard

yeah...maybe register that :upsidedow

The bitcoins are Escheat to the Borg Collective ... Look up the term Escheat.

A Navy Seal raid maybe?

More details needed for accurate reply. You basically need some sort of login infos that anyone can use to move the btc.

unless you have the encrypted key, you cant recover the btc.

This. There is no central authority, no way for someone to decide "this looks plausible, so we'll release the money to the relatives."

Without the key, the funds effectively do not exist.

edit: this assumes that the user was storing funds in their own wallet. If they use a third party wallet service, it may be possible.

And that's that.

Ya, i would think the deceased family or next of kin would gain ownership and access to those bitcoin acct(s)

thank you so much for the informations gfy, will forward them where is needed ... :thumbsup

If you have access to the wallet and if you know some of the deceased's previous passwords you can try this program. github.com/gurnec/btcrecover

If the money was in a real bank account the beneficiary(s) would either have a power of attorney or it would be included in the deceased estate probate -- there would be a Court order.

Bitcoin is not real currency or property (so far) in these matters :2 cents:

Virtual has it's limitations ...

satoshi knows ?

w/o keys bitcoins are gone
