Crypto Security & Crypto Inheritance Planning (UK)
Bitzo is a UK-based, non-custodial coordination service for crypto security and inheritance. We help private clients, families, and professional advisers make sure crypto is recoverable when it matters — without us ever holding keys, seed phrases, or funds.
What Bitzo does
We coordinate the people, documentation, and verification needed to recover crypto under planned and unplanned circumstances. Our service is built around three pillars:
- Crypto security planning — multi-key architecture, threat modelling, reduced visibility, and recovery readiness for private clients.
- Crypto inheritance planning — verified trusted contacts, executor workflows, and documented recovery so digital assets are not lost on death or incapacity.
- Adviser support — verification, documentation, and coordination for IFAs, accountants, and solicitors. No advice given. No custody taken.
Who Bitzo is for
- UK private clients holding meaningful crypto positions who want to reduce single points of failure.
- Families and named executors who need a process that works without crypto expertise.
- Professional advisers (IFAs, STEP solicitors, accountants) whose clients hold crypto but who do not want to take operational risk.
How Bitzo is different
- Non-custodial by design. We never hold, store, or request seed phrases, private keys, wallet PINs, or exchange passwords. Assets remain under client control at all times.
- UK-focused. Process aligns with UK probate, HMRC, and FCA expectations. We do not provide regulated financial, legal, or tax advice.
- Audit-ready documentation. Every step, every verification, every recovery action is logged for fiduciary oversight.
- Human-led coordination. Real UK-based specialists run the process — not a bot, not an algorithm.
The five-step workflow
- Architecture — map current wallets, custody points, and access paths.
- Verified contacts — identify and verify trusted people (family, executors, advisers).
- Documentation — produce a Policy Pack non-technical executors can actually use.
- Recovery rehearsal — test the workflow before it is needed in real life.
- Annual review — keep the plan current as wallets, contacts, and rules change.

Common questions
Will Bitzo ever ask for my seed phrase?
No. Bitzo never asks for seed phrases, private keys, wallet PINs, or exchange passwords under any circumstances.
Is Bitzo a wallet, exchange, or custodian?
No. Bitzo is a coordination and documentation service. Your crypto remains in your own wallets at all times.
Do you give financial or tax advice?
No. We coordinate verification and process. Regulated advice should come from your IFA, solicitor, or accountant.
Can my family handle this if they are not technical?
Yes — that is the design goal. Documentation is written for non-technical executors and professionals.
