  At BYDFi, we understand the importance of planning for the future when it comes to digital currencies. While a power of attorney can be a valuable tool in managing someone's financial affairs, it may not automatically grant access to their digital currency holdings. In the event of incapacitation or death, the concept of next of kin may override the power of attorney, and the legal heirs or next of kin may need to follow specific procedures to claim and access the digital currency holdings. It is essential to consult with a legal professional and ensure that your digital currency holdings are accounted for in your estate planning to avoid any complications or disputes in the future.
