Title: Please Help with Dad’s Recovery Phrase
Post by: ElAlderson on Friday 12 August 22 02:04 BST (UK)
Hi, my dad recently passed away and he has an account with a recovery phrase that we have tried so hard to get into but there are 3 words that we cannot decipher. The words on lines 17, 22, and 24 are illegible of the attached image. Pops always had bad handwriting, so if anyone can decipher those then we’d be much obliged.

Surely the bank will deal with this if your father has passed away ( sorry for your loss, by the way). You are not supposed to access an account after death.

If it's a 24 word recovery phrase, I'm guessing this is a crypto account, not a bank account

I've come up with:-

18 Person
19 Maximum
20 Palm
21 Gorilla
23 Cable

That's what I think they are.

Some are difficult to read, have you studied the others for letter comparison as I think no. 22 definitely needs a bit of comparing as the formation of what looks like a backward 'C' is odd.

Caned? or Cared?
Person?
Maximum?
Film?
Gorilla?
Juror?
Loner?

Do you have any other examples of writing so we can better judge writing style of letters?  What was his spelling like?  I think he may be mispelling words e.g. maximam for maximum.
