Swift Current · Serving all of Saskatchewan
Don’t let your Bitcoin die with you. Lawyer-led succession planning, multi-signature security, and backups your executor can actually use.
For most Saskatchewan crypto holders the honest answer is no.
Cryptocurrency moves only with its private keys. No court order, no bank manager and no executor’s authority can reconstruct a key that was lost with its owner. The assets do not pass to your family — they simply stop existing for everyone.
Saskatchewan is one of the first Canadian provinces to legislate fiduciary access to digital assets, through The Fiduciaries Access to Digital Information Act. It is a genuine step forward. It also does not solve the key-recovery problem, because no statute can grant access to something nobody holds.
The Act grants your executor authority. It cannot give them a key. That gap is what we close.
Askari Digital combines multi-signature wallet security and professionally stored backups with succession documentation drafted alongside Anderson & Company — so your holdings stay under your control while you are alive, and remain recoverable by the people you name when you are not.

Services
Most crypto losses are not hacks. They are lost keys, single points of failure, money sent to the wrong place, and people persuaded to send it. Each of these services closes one of those gaps.
Succession
Will instructions your executor can follow without your help — a complete inventory of holdings, transfer protocols, transaction records for the estate’s tax position, and written guidance for your beneficiaries. None of it exposes a private key in a document that becomes public at probate.
Estate planningSecurity
A single seed phrase is a single point of catastrophic failure — one fire, one flood, one forgotten hiding place. We configure wallets requiring several independent keys to move funds, with redundant backups held in separate secure facilities.
Wallet securityFraud
Before you send money to anyone, have them checked. We verify whether the company exists, whether it is registered to deal with Canadians, whether the people are who they say they are, and whether the offer resembles anything real — then tell you plainly what we found. The first phone call is free.
Scam checkAcquisition
We conduct due diligence on exchanges before you send funds, evaluating security history, Canadian regulatory standing and operational track record, then manage the purchase through to settlement in storage you control.

Why a lawyer
Plenty of people can set up a hardware wallet. Far fewer can tell you how a Saskatchewan court will treat it, what your executor is entitled to access, how the deemed disposition on death affects your estate’s tax bill, or how to document holdings so a beneficiary can act on them without exposing the keys to everyone who reads the probate file.
Askari Digital is run by a practising Saskatchewan lawyer who has litigated cryptocurrency disputes at every level of court, including the Supreme Court of Canada — and who works alongside Anderson & Company, the largest firm in southwest Saskatchewan.
Process
Four stages. You keep control of your assets throughout — we never hold the unilateral ability to move your funds.
A confidential conversation about what you hold, where it is, who needs to reach it, and what happens today if you are suddenly unavailable. $500 plus applicable taxes, credited against your final bill if you proceed. Nothing technical is required from you.
We design the custody arrangement — how many keys, who holds them, where the backups live, and what has to happen before funds can move. You approve the design before anything changes.
Wallets configured, backups created and placed in secure storage, access protocols documented. Existing holdings are migrated carefully, in stages, with verification at each step.
Will instructions, beneficiary guidance and the inventory your executor will need — drafted with Anderson & Company and integrated into your broader estate plan.
Most people book because something prompted it — a diagnosis, a new holding, a friend who lost access. You do not need to have your affairs in order first. That is the point of the meeting.
$500 plus applicable taxes for the first consultation and review, credited in full against your final bill if you go ahead.
