<div dir="ltr"><div>Agree with Anna. Some cryptocurrency is held on an exchange (sort of like having a bank account). It can also be held in a hardware wallet which is more like having cash. If you lose the hardware wallet it's gone. The search for cryptocurrency starts, I believe, in the decedent's papers and effects looking for keys and hardware wallets (which may look like a small portable USB drive).</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#45818e" face="georgia, serif"><b>Laura Latta<br>Law Office of Laura Latta PLLC</b><u></u><u></u></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#666666" face="georgia, serif">she/her</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:13.15pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">Phone (206) 841-2344</span><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#666666" face="georgia, serif"><a href="http://www.LauraLatta.com" target="_blank">www.LauraLatta.com</a></font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:13.15pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#666666" face="georgia, serif">4010 Lake Washington Blvd. NE Ste. 202</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:13.15pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#666666" face="georgia, serif">Kirkland, WA 98033</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#134f5c"><u></u> </font><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><u><font color="#ff0000">Our office will be closed for the holidays from December 23 through January 3.</font></u></b><font color="#134f5c"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><font color="#444444">NOTICE: This communication may contain privileged or other confidential information.

<p class="MsoNormal">Part of the appeal of owning cryptocurrency is that it may be owned anonymously. You may be able to search on popular platforms like Coinbase if there was an account, but unless you have the keys, you are out of luck.<u></u><u></u></p>
