Jonathan Forster Discusses Crypto Estate Planning Risks with CNBC
Jonathan Forster was recently featured in CNBC examining the growing estate planning risks associated with cryptocurrency ownership and the steps investors should take to protect digital assets for future generations.
The article “Why your crypto wealth may never make it to the next generation” explores how inadequate estate planning can result in significant cryptocurrency holdings being delayed in probate, inaccessible to heirs or lost entirely. As digital assets continue to grow in value and adoption, Forster drives home that many investors underestimate the tax and estate implications tied to large crypto portfolios.
“For families with substantial cryptocurrency holdings, failure to plan properly can have serious consequences,” Jon explains. He notes that high-value crypto assets may be subject to estate or income taxes and that proactive planning is essential to prevent unnecessary tax exposure and administrative complications for heirs.
