Digital Inheritance, Right of the Heirs to Access to the Deceased User’s Account, Non-Transferability Clauses: An Overview in the Light of Two Judgments Issued by Italian Courts / I. Maspes. - In: THE ITALIAN LAW JOURNAL. - ISSN 2421-2156. - 8:1(2022), pp. 407-423.
Abstract:
The transferability of digital assets is becoming more and more important due to
increasing importance of digitalization of assets. In legal terms, this issue is progressively
more challenging due to the difficult coordination between inheritance law – which
differs between jurisdictions – and the general terms and conditions imposed by operators
providing digital services in the global market. From this perspective the article
examines the issues arisen in two recent decisions issued by the Court of Milan and the
Court of Bologna related to the heirs’ right to access to a deceased’s account.
