Digital Assets and Their Assessment in Private Law with Special Regard on Inheritance Law Provisions

Digital Assets and Their Assessment in Private Law with Special Regard on Inheritance Law Provisions

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

La digitalización es uno de los mayores logros del siglo XXI y está repercutiendo en todos los ámbitos del derecho. El derecho privado no es una excepción y, como “derecho de la vida cotidiana”, es el que ejerce un mayor impacto en nuestras vidas. Durante mucho tiempo parecía que habría áreas del derecho privado que se verían menos afectadas o casi no se verían afectadas por el proceso de digitalización. Con el tiempo, sin embargo, ha quedado claro que, en la práctica, no hay ningún ámbito del derecho privado que permanezca indemne al impacto de la rápida evolución tecnológica.


En el presente estudio muestra, en primer lugar, los esfuerzos realizados para definir los activos digitales y, a continuación, examina cómo podrían integrarse los activos digitales en el sistema de derecho de propiedad. Tras el análisis de los aspectos de los activos digitales relacionados con el derecho de propiedad, se examina la heredabilidad de los activos digitales.
