Legal Support for Heirs Accessing Crypto Wallets and Exchanges

Inheritance of digital assets is significantly more complex than traditional estate procedures. Heirs must navigate technical barriers, strict exchange compliance rules, KYC/AML requirements and legal confirmation of inheritance rights. AROU provides comprehensive legal assistance to heirs seeking access to cryptocurrency wallets and exchange accounts in Ukraine and the European Union.

Key Challenges for Heirs

Heirs often encounter:

• refusal of exchanges to grant access

• lack of private keys or seed phrases

• frozen accounts due to AML/KYC restrictions
