Inheriting Digital Assets – A Glimpse Into the Future

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The valuation of digital assets is one of the most important, and increasingly unavoidable issues in contemporary private law. Most of the digitalisation challenges, questions, and problems that have arisen in all areas of private law cannot be addressed or solved entirely without properly positioning the adjudication on digital assets. In this paper, we aim to outline the main questions in the field of private law, for which it is essential to establish an appropriate doctrinal basis for the emergence of digital assets. Handling such assets is a preliminary issue in determining the possible solutions for the latest problems in private law subfields. We review the main findings of recent research in contemporary private law on digital assets, then summarise and synthesise them to form our conclusions. Although the study mainly focuses on European trends, regulatory models and judicial practices of other countries are also examined.
