When someone dies holding cryptocurrency, their heirs inherit a technical problem on top of a legal one: the coins are on the blockchain, but the keys are scattered across old laptops, phones, hardware wallets, and notebooks — often protected by passwords nobody else knows. I help executors, estate attorneys, and families recover those assets.
Why professionals work with me
Most crypto recovery services are anonymous — a pseudonym and an email address. That may be tolerable for an individual recovering their own wallet; it does not work for an estate, where every step may need to be documented and defensible.
- A real counterparty: David Veksler, operating through Veksler Consulting LLC, registered in Colorado, with a physical Denver address. An entity you can name in a court filing or engagement letter.
- A written contract for every engagement — see the standard terms of service.
- Success-based, published pricing: 20% of the recovered amount for wallets under 10 BTC, nothing if nothing is recovered — a fee structure a fiduciary can justify, agreed in writing up front.
- Documented intake: devices arrive by tracked shipping or in person, and originals are returned or destroyed per your instruction, with your data deleted after the case closes.
- Confidentiality as a default, in writing.
What I work from
Bring me whatever exists — I'll tell you in the free assessment what's promising and what isn't:
- Hardware wallets (Trezor, Ledger, Coldcard…), including physically damaged devices
- Computers, external drives, and phones that may hold wallet files — including locked iPhones
- Old wallet files (
wallet.dat, Multibit, Electrum, Blockchain.info accounts) - Handwritten notes, partial seed phrases, and password hints
- Exchange-account records (these route through the exchange's own estate process — I'll point you to the right one; see the wallet support directory)
I'll also tell you honestly when something is not recoverable — an answer that has its own value when settling an estate.
How an estate engagement runs
- Free assessment. Describe what the deceased held and what materials exist. I'll give you an honest read on the odds, scenario by scenario.
- Contract and documentation. Executed with the estate's representative, with counsel included where appropriate.
- Secure intake of devices and records — tracked shipping per the shipment instructions, or in person in Denver.
- Recovery and reporting. I document what was searched, what was found, and what was recovered.
- Transfer to the estate. Recovered assets go to an address controlled by the estate's representative, minus the agreed fee. I can advise on secure custody until distribution.
