In this episode, MATTHEW MCCLINTOCK joins us. Matthew is a high end estate planning attorney and is a Principal at EVERGREEN LEGACY PLANNING which is based in Colorado. He has built his practice at the cutting edge of Cryptocurrency and Estate Planning, a field that is evolving by the day.

This is Matthew’s second appearance and he’s on again for a good reason. We last recorded Oct. 2nd 2020. Bitcoin was around $10,000 . . . it’s now valued in the $48,000 range (having spiked over 60K!). Many other cryptocurrencies and digital assets like Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT’s) have seen similar value increases.

We’re going to find out:

  1. What if anything is different around legacy planning in the crypto world?
  2. What is involved with estate planning in the white hot NFT space?
  3. How does one properly staff the roles in crypto estate planning structures?
