Guides

These guides are Jake Claver’s plain-language explainers on the topics digital-asset families deal with most: protecting crypto for heirs, holding it in the right legal structure, keeping it in secure custody, understanding the assets themselves, and handling the tax and planning that surround them. Each guide is a starting point that links to deeper articles on the specific questions.

Structuring and protecting digital assets

  • Crypto Estate Planning — how to secure your digital assets and pass them to heirs without losing the keys or ending up in probate.
  • Wyoming Crypto LLC — when and how to hold crypto in an LLC, and what makes Wyoming the common choice.
  • Digital Asset Custody — self-custody versus qualified custodians, and how to keep large holdings safe and accessible.

Understanding the assets and markets

  • XRP Explained — what XRP and the XRP Ledger are, and how they fit into digital payments and settlement.
  • Asset Tokenization — how real-world assets are represented as tokens on a blockchain, and why it matters.

Wealth, tax, and planning

  • Family Office — what a family office does and how it manages wealth for a single family.
  • Crypto Taxes — how crypto is taxed, what to report, and how structure affects the outcome.
  • Retirement Planning — building and structuring assets to fund a durable retirement income.
