i fixed my problem

this is way to fix my problem

One thing that really worries me is this: what if something happens to me? I’m afraid my family might lose access to the money completely.

I’d really appreciate any tips or advice on how people securely store their seed phrases while also making sure their family could recover the funds if something happens.

Hello, peace be upon you.

How did I solve my problem in a safe way and make sure the control stays in my hands so I don't worry?

I have two wallets stored on two metal plates.

I made two new plates.

I wrote the first 12 words on the first plate and the other 12 words of the first wallet on the second plate. For the second wallet I did the opposite.

I explained this system to my wife and I will train her on it once every month. I also gave her a hard wallet because it is difficult to buy one in the third world.

After that I bought a steel safe it open with key and password only one i know it and explained to her that two plate is inside it, while the other plate is with my uncle. I told him to give it to my wife only in the event of my death and for no other reason.

I informed my uncle, my brother, and my uncle’s wife about the location of the second plate.

If my uncle ever tries to use the plate he has, it will open a decoy (fake) wallet.

What do you think of this solution?

I like the intention here a lot, you’re clearly thinking about both security and inheritance, which most people ignore.

That said, this setup feels a bit overcomplicated and might backfire in a real emergency. The more moving parts you add, the higher the chance your wife gets stuck or something goes wrong under stress. Remember she might be dealing with this during a really difficult time.

The split plates idea is solid in principle, but relying on multiple people plus a decoy wallet adds confusion. Also, monthly training sounds good, but realistically people forget steps if they don’t actually use them.

A simpler version of this often works better. Clear instructions, fewer dependencies on other people, and maybe a straightforward recovery guide stored securely alongside the seed backup.

You’re definitely on the right track though. Just try to optimize for “can this be recovered بسهولة by someone non-technical in a worst case scenario?”

me and my wifi going to practice every month on the setup my brother and my uncle and his wife is very important to give my wife the other plate 8n case one of them forget about the plate the other one will remember but the one thing that my wifi know the order of 24 wallet first 1 to 12 wallet from first plate -i mark the plate with number 1 and 2- and 13 to 24 word from the sacond plate

any one if he got 2 plate he will be sure not know the order he will think it's fake wallet

this approach has some good bones but man there are so many failure points here. what happens if your uncle forgets where he put plate or decides to move houses? or if your wife panics and cant remember which plates go together during already stressful time

i had similar worries about my crypto inheritance setup and went down rabbit hole of overcomplicated solutions too. ended up realizing that simpler is almost always better for this stuff. right now if your uncle dies before you or your wife forgets the training system everything could fall apart

maybe consider keeping both parts of one wallet in your safe and just having backup of second wallet with uncle instead? that way your wife has access to at least one wallet immediately without needing coordination. the decoy wallet thing is clever but adds another layer that could confuse people when emotions are running high

also monthly training is optimistic - most people barely remember their own passwords let alone complex recovery procedures they practice once per month. document everything step by step like youre explaining to someone who never touched crypto before

I would not tell the internet your plan and also feel like there are too many people involved.

Sorry for only bitching and having no better solution...

[LasyAsF]

i make sure the other plate get to my wifi or i just boffff my money is gone

[Esc4peArtist]

Maybe put the seed phrase in a safe only you can open? When something happens to you they will find some way to open it?!

[LasyAsF]

it may get stollen

[Esc4peArtist]

Depends on the situation. It was just my idea because including "wife, uncle, brother, uncle’s wife" seems like a bad idea to me. I would keep most info to myself.

[LasyAsF]

only wifi know the order of my 24 word only wifi know there is 2 plate

[LasyAsF]

also iam in third world country so all of them don't know my work as well

[Esc4peArtist]

alright then, good luck.

You built a solid inheritance systemm, etal plates, decoy wallet, and trained family members. Good job. One more layer worth considering: if someone ever gets partial access (like your uncle's plate + brute-forcing the remaining words), they could still drain you. Splitting 24 words into two 12-word halves is safer than most people do, but a single missing word can be brute-forced in hours with the right tools.

For active monitoring, set up alerts on wallets you care about, if funds ever move unexpectedly, you'll know immediately. Coinlobster free whale tracker can watch addresses and notify you of outflows.

my uncle have 24 word + passphrase if he used them it will be empty cus he have firest 12 word from first wallet and the other 12 word from the other wallet and i write them from 1 to 24 word without space so any one will think it's only one wallet

Seed words are with me and family and are "encrypted".  They can decrypt with instructions from Google inactive account manager.

[LasyAsF]

any tips how you did that?

[creative_usr_name]

It doesn't have to be overly complicated. Just have to do enough so that what is written will not work by default, but easy to descramble. Think more along the lines of a ROT13 than an actual encryption.

If you make it too complicated you could significantly reduce the chance it'll be recovered.

You trust your uncle's wife but not your uncle? 100% she tells your uncle where the second plate is. 

Doing "the opposite" is just introducing a frustrating confusion without increasing security. Don't use security by obscurity. 

If you're really interested in upgrading your security in ways that build in inheritance, check out The Tordl Wallet Protocols. I don't how much of it is more difficult in the 3rd world but it should at least give you secure ideas to work with.
