DIGITAL INHERITANCE: PROBLEMS, CASES AND SOLUTIONS

Summary/Abstract: Notions as 5G Revolution , Robolution, Fintech , Insurtech, BitCoin, VR (virtual reality), Blockchain and digital inheritance make up the theme of almost every international congress, seminar and debate. Nowadays people do most things online, using a computer with internet connection or a smartphone with countless applications: they sell, buy and pay goods and services online, they get a subscription to different services, they can book a hotel room using BitCoin (virtual currency) and so on. In our opinion, digitalization and this world “without borders” have influenced in a positive manner our lives in general and the lives of these small communities in particular, have opened paths and possibilities, made everything easier and faster, but also given rise to new questions, challenges and risks. We can now talk about a “digital legacy” and “digital footprints” in the online world. Music, games and books are purchased online and consumed digitally. More data is shared online in exchange for a ‘free’ service, such as email services, cloud services or navigation applications. Yet, it is not entirely clear what will happen to these digital products in case of death. If a book collection or a vinyl record collection could be inherited by one’s heirs, it is not same as clear and obvious when it comes to digital products and services.
