Here is some good information about the upcoming LTC fork, which I plan on participating in

Follow these steps to ensure you are safe from wallet theft:
- Create a brand-new wallet where you hold the private keys, whether with a wallet.dat file, or 12-word seed phrase.
- Move as much LTC as you want to that address and wait for the time of the fork to pass.
- Empty the wallet and take your LTC to an exchange or your preferred storage solution.
- Use the empty wallet's private key to claim the new coins.
IMPORTANT: After that, do not use the old wallet, and consider it forever compromised.
