Adnan Siddiqui shares expert insights in The Economic Times on inheritance and asset recovery

In a recent feature by The Economic Times titled “How to claim your inheritance – property, EPF, bank FDs, mutual funds”, Adnan Siddiqui provided his expert perspective on one of the most complex aspects of modern inheritance, the recovery of digital assets such as cryptocurrency.

Adnan highlighted a critical challenge in this evolving space, stating, “if the crypto is stored in a decentralised wallet (non-custodial), recovery may be impossible without the private key.
