Blockchain Wills BRIDGET J. CRAWFORD Blockchain technology has the potential to radically alter the way that people have executed wills for centuries. This Article makes two principal claims-one descriptive and the other normative. Descriptively, this Article suggests that traditionalwills formalities have been relaxed to the point that they no longer serve the cautionary, protective, evidentiary, and channelingfunctions that scholars have used to justify strict compliance with wills formalities. Widespread use of digital technology in everyday communications has led to several notable cases in which individuals have attempted to execute wills electronically. These wills have had a mixed reception. Four states currently recognize electronic wills. The Uniform Law Commission approved a Uniform Electronic Wills Act in July 2019, so it is likely that even more states will permit these documents. This Article identifies some of the weaknesses in existing state statutes and the model law and considers how technology can address those problems.
