  In the unfortunate event of your passing, Coinbase has a process in place to handle the transfer of your digital assets to your designated beneficiaries. It is important to have a plan in place to ensure that your assets are properly transferred. You can designate beneficiaries for your Coinbase account by setting up a beneficiary designation form. This form will allow you to specify who should receive your digital assets in the event of your death. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional to ensure that your beneficiary designation is legally valid and up to date.

  If you have not designated any beneficiaries for your Coinbase account, the process of transferring your digital assets to your heirs may be more complicated. In such cases, your heirs may need to go through a legal process to prove their entitlement to your assets. It is important to keep your loved ones informed about your Coinbase account and provide them with the necessary information to access your digital assets in the event of your passing. It is also recommended to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific laws and regulations regarding the transfer of digital assets in your jurisdiction.
