# FAQ

## Can I set different inheritance dates for different heirs?

Not in BAL 1.0 — the inheritance date is unique per wallet. Prepare a separate wallet per date: Electrum makes it easy to create and manage multiple wallets. See [Setting up heirs](user-guide/heirs.md#one-delivery-date-per-wallet).

## Can I stagger the inheritance over time (like an annuity)?

Not yet. This is planned for **Protocol version 2**: e.g., 10% per year for 10 years, or 1% per month — without third parties or intermediaries.

## How do I quickly test the plugin?

Set a near-term delivery time (e.g., Raw `18h`-equivalent, or an upcoming date/time) and set **check-alive to a past date** so it doesn't interfere. See [Quick testing](user-guide/heirs.md#2-check-alive-threshold).

## Is the inheritance executed at the exact time I set?

Roughly. With Raw values the plugin estimates the corresponding block number (tolerance of a few hours). On average execution happens about **1 hour after** the set time, due to the 11-block Bitcoin median.

## What happens if I keep using the wallet after setting the inheritance?

Nothing to worry about: on Electrum close, BAL detects balance/UTXO changes and updates the inheritance automatically. You can use the wallet for everyday transactions.

## Can I use a hardware wallet?

Yes — every hardware key compatible with Electrum works with BAL (Ledger, BitBox02, etc.).

## What if all will-executor servers disappear?

A highly unrealistic event, but you can enable the offline [backup transaction](user-guide/backup-transaction.md) as a fallback that works without any server.

## What does the will-executor earn?

The **base fee** you see in the service list — paid only on the inheritance date, and only to the **first** server that broadcasts the transaction to the nodes.

## I restored my wallet from seed and the inheritance is gone. Why?

The inheritance data is stored in the **wallet file**, not the seed. Always back up the wallet file (`File → Save backup`) and keep your wallet password safe.

## How can I run a will-executor server?

Write to [info@bitcoin-after.life](mailto:info@bitcoin-after.life). Operator documentation is [in preparation](will-executor/running-a-server.md).
