> have a "stuck" RNG
TREZOR asks for external entropy during the initialization and this one is mixed with an internal one. Even in the unlikely change that internal RNG generator fails, you should be on the safe side.

The whole design is (hardware and software) is open-source. You don't need to trust, you can verify yourself (or ask a friend who can if you are not able to).
> inheritance
When you initialize device it will give you a list of 24 words, which are a way how to recover funds. You can split these words across your family members (using e.g. a Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme) and once you are dead your family can recover your coins.
I recommend watching my talk at CCC where I explain in detail the basis concepts of TREZOR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgaBKNus1n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgaBKNus1n0

Even in the unlikely change that internal RNG generator fails, you should be on the safe side. Assuming it actually uses it. >The whole design is (hardware and software) is open-source. You don't need to trust, you can verify yourself (or ask a friend who can if you are not able to). This doesn't matter unless you build it yourself. Open source hardware and software specs are irrelevant if you have no proof the thing you are using followed them precisely.
