The most important part of any cold wallet is the mnemonic phrase (seed phrase) that it generates. This key is what will allow you to sign transactions.
In the scenario that the Ledger device does not work, or is no longer available, the mnemonic phrase can be used in any other cold wallet that supports BIP39 mnemonic phrases.
So the best way to ensure your heirs inherit your precious #Bitcoin? Stamp your mnemonic phrase in titanium/steel and bury it in your yard.
