Product description

Digital Asset Entanglement: Unraveling the Intersection of Estate Laws and Technology in the U.S. and Canada focuses on the ways technology has disrupted the traditionally paper-based estate industry and provides a practical client user personas-based framework for global advisors and clients alike.

As specialists in their field, the authors illustrate their proposed approach – as well as the importance of digital asset awareness and the challenges associated with managing digital assets – through a comprehensive case study of Quadriga Fintech Solutions, its cryptocurrency exchange, QuadrigaCX, and the estate of its late CEO, Gerald Cotten.

The Quadriga bankruptcy trustee case provides a striking opportunity to educate and update estate advisors on the legal and practical technical management considerations surrounding digital assets. Using Quadriga as a backdrop, this text highlights the potential financial and emotional loss that results from digital assets being undisclosed, physically, or legally inaccessible, or if there is a protracted delay in administration.
