Field notes
Practical writing on inheritance inventory binders, hiding places, and talking with heirs—rooted in offline wallet location planning.
Short articles for households who keep recovery materials offline and need the people who come after them to find the right drawer, vault, or solicitor file.
When a temporary hiding place becomes permanent by accident
Kitchen drawers and travel pouches collect recovery slips ‘for a week’ that quietly become years. Location planning starts by admitting those places exist.
Separating the binder’s home from the phrase’s home
If the inventory binder sits in the same drawer as the paper phrase, a single break-in—or a single curious relative—finds both.
Talking with heirs before anyone needs the binder
An early briefing prevents the first emergency from becoming a scavenger hunt through half-remembered drawers.
What belongs on a location card—and what must never appear
A location card should help an heir find a place. It should never become a second copy of the recovery phrase.
