Beskrivelse
Crypto Assets are pushing the boundaries of the law across multiple jurisdictions in a number of ways. This is particularly the case in administering such assets as part of the estate of a deceased individual.
Due to the technology which underpins Crypto Assets, their decentralised nature and the volatile market conditions within which they operate, there are a plethora of issues and nuanced difficulties that can arise in dealing with Crypto Assets as part of an estate administration.
This book aims to provide an examination of the application of the current law to Crypto Assets, a practical analysis of the Blockchain technology that sits behind Crypto Assets, a breakdown of the different types of Crypto Assets that may be held on death, and an explanation of the practical considerations required in locating, identifying and accessing Crypto Assets during the administration of an estate. With a summary of the tax implications for estates holding Crypto Assets and a consideration of the AML and compliance issues in dealing with these assets, this book is designed to be a go to handbook for all Probate Practitioners practicing in England and Wales faced with the prospect of dealing with Crypto Assets in an estate administration.
