Are there any open source programs for passing on bitcoin to loved ones that are less familiar with using bitcoin?

I think it would be useful to have such an open source program that you can customize with various steps / options for a loved one to follow, for example

You could walk them step by step through how to locate and use your hardware wallets to correctly transfer funds to a bitcoin custodian that you trust (strike, river, etc), or a p2p service (bisq, robosats) in order to sell the bitcoin for dollars.

If the bitcoiner is more familiar with bitcoin and comfortable enough to continue holding it but not an expert you could include steps on how to continue to hold and spend bitcoin, which tools to use, what an address is, what a seed phrase is, what YOUR seed phrases are.

Another route would be to include steps on how to contact an uncle jim like trusted figure to help with managing the bitcoin.

You could distribute trust by requiring a password to access various parts of the program and separating the program from the holder of the password, maybe a lawyer holds the program but the heir holds the password, or vice versa.

Obviously it is best for an heir to understand bitcoin fully, but having a modifiable and customizable digital set of instructions that have various levels of encryption may serve in certain situations.
