Smart contracts are also coming to Bitcoin. You'll be able to setup a list of beneficiaries family/friends etc to receive their respective allocations based on a Bitcoin smart contract. No more middleman executor taking an estate cut from your family. Bitcoin is an unfinished product- and we're busy engineering it to become the most useful form of money available.

So who will trigger the smart contract to release the bitcoin when the person dies? Or will the person be chipped?

I wonder how this works out in practice.
