How to brief family without sharing secrets

Educational article · Household custody

People collaborating with notebooks

Recovery fails socially before it fails technically. Someone freezes, someone overshares, someone cannot find the envelope. Household briefings inside our Cold Wallet Safety Workflow focus on roles, not revelations.

Lead with the job, not the treasure

Say: “If I am unreachable for 72 hours, you open envelope B and call the number inside.” Do not say: “Here are the words that unlock everything.”

Separate knowledge

One person may know where a backup lives; another may hold a passphrase hint sealed with an attorney. Avoid concentrating every fact in one relative “for simplicity.”

Rehearse the phone call

Practice a five-minute script so the first time is not a crisis. Our Household Table tier exists for families who want a facilitator in the room.

Write what “done” looks like

Define success: funds moved to a pre-agreed temporary wallet, devices inventoried, next professional contacted. Ambiguity breeds improvisation.
