## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does onboarding work?

We work with 12 families per quarter: initial consultation, inheritance plan design, protocol configuration, end-to-end verification, then annual reviews. One-on-one throughout. No self-serve portal. No chatbot.

### How is this different from Casa or Unchained inheritance?

Casa and Unchained hold one of your keys. Your inheritance plan depends on their ongoing existence and cooperation. Bitwill never holds your keys. Your inheritance executes through pre-signed transactions that exist independently of us.

### How does Bitwill work without holding my keys?

You create pre-signed transactions on your own device. These are encrypted, split, and distributed across independent infrastructure. At no point does Bitwill access your Bitcoin, see your balance, or control your keys.

### What happens if Bitwill goes away?

Your Bitcoin stays in your wallet. Your pre-signed transactions exist independently of our infrastructure. Fallback documentation is provided at setup so your inheritance executes without our participation.

### Will my family actually be able to use this?

Yes. The beneficiary process requires zero technical knowledge. No seed phrases. No wallet management. A member from our team guides them through every step.

### What does it cost?

We discuss pricing during the initial consultation. There is a setup fee and an annual maintenance fee. This is closer to engaging a private estate advisor than subscribing to a SaaS product.

### How is the dormancy trigger determined?

You define the dormancy conditions during setup: inactivity windows, check-in cadence, and multi-party confirmation requirements. The protocol only executes when all conditions you set are met.

### Can I change my beneficiaries later?

Yes. Beneficiary changes are handled through a guided re-signing session. Your existing plan remains in force until the new transactions are verified and replace the old ones.

### Can Bitwill access my Bitcoin at any point?

No. Our architecture is non-custodial by construction. Your keys never leave your hardware wallet. We hold encrypted instructions — not signing authority, not balance visibility, not your coins. There is nothing for us to freeze, seize, or lose.

### How does a lawyer or estate planner reference Bitwill in a trust document?

We provide legal-ready language for trust instruments, a one-page architecture brief, and a named partner manager for attorneys structuring Bitcoin provisions. Ask your advisor to schedule a private partner briefing.

### How confidential is the first conversation?

Fully. 30 minutes, one-on-one, not recorded, not used for sales follow-up without your explicit request. If we're not the right fit, we'll name a provider we believe is. We've been practicing discretion since 2018.
