Introduction to Dilendorf Law and Crypto Estate Planning

At Dilendorf Law Firm, we specialize in protecting cryptocurrency wealth through sophisticated estate planning tailored to the unique challenges of digital assets.

Since 2017, our team, led by Max Dilendorf, guided clients worldwide in securing their digital legacies against evolving cyber risks.

With cybercrime threats rising, effective estate planning ensures your Bitcoin, Ethereum, or NFTs are safeguarded and seamlessly transferred to future generations.

Our comprehensive strategies combine years of experience, secure custody solutions, and tax optimization to preserve your wealth.

The Risks of Keeping Crypto on U.S. Exchanges

Storing cryptocurrency on U.S.-regulated exchanges is inherently risky. User Agreements for crypto exchanges typically state that exchanges bear no responsibility for safeguarding your digital assets.

Before entrusting your crypto to an exchange, carefully review its User Agreement to understand the risks of custody.

These agreements shift the entire risk of loss onto you, the customer, leaving your Bitcoin, Ethereum, or NFTs exposed to cyberattacks, phishing scams, or platform insolvencies.

The FBI’s 2023 Cryptocurrency Fraud Report reported $5.6 billion in losses from crypto-related cybercrime, underscoring the critical need for robust estate and asset protection to secure your digital wealth and ensure its transfer to future generations.

At Dilendorf Law Firm, our crypto estate planning solutions shield your assets from these vulnerabilities, delivering tailored legal strategies for lasting security.

Tailored Crypto Trust Solutions

Crypto estate planning demands specialized trusts to address the complexities of digital assets, such as private keys and decentralized wallets.

We guide clients in setting up:

• Revocable Living Trusts: Retain control over crypto during your lifetime, ensuring smooth beneficiary transfer without probate delays.
• Irrevocable Trusts: Protect crypto from creditors, lawsuits, or hacks by removing assets from your taxable estate.
• Directed Trusts: Appoint crypto-savvy trustees for secure custody under Wyoming or Nevada’s progressive laws.
• Dynasty Trusts: Enable multi-generational wealth transfer in South Dakota, free from perpetuity rules.
• Offshore Trusts: Utilize Switzerland or Liechtenstein for privacy, with trustees skilled in blockchain compliance.

Each trust is customized, incorporating multi-signature wallets or smart contracts to enhance security against exchange-related risks.

Comprehensive Crypto Estate Planning Services

We offer holistic solutions to secure your digital legacy:

• Tax Optimization: Collaboration with tax advisors minimizes estate and capital gains taxes, leveraging Nevada or Wyoming exemptions.
• Cross-Border Planning: For non-U.S. clients, we navigate FATCA and CRS, structuring trusts in Switzerland or Liechtenstein.
• Cybersecurity Partnerships: We connect clients with blockchain forensic firms to assess vulnerabilities, countering the 69,000 fraud complaints reported in 2023.

Our Process

We start with a consultation to evaluate your crypto portfolio and goals. We analyze coins, tokens, or NFTs and design tailored trust structures, drafting documents and coordinating with trustees in Wyoming, Nevada, South Dakota, Switzerland, or Liechtenstein.

Compliance with U.S. and international laws is ensured, addressing exchange custody risks.
