Die Vererblichkeit von Vermögenswerten in der digitalen Welt

The subject matter of this work is controversially discussed in jurisprudential literature under the term "digital estate". The author addresses the problem of assets in the digital world in a special way: The concept of assets used in § 1922 of the German Civil Code is first subjected to a fundamental review and critically examined in its historical contexts. In the process, detailed questions are also clarified on those aspects that can stand in the way of the realisation of the inheritance-law finding through impossibility. This consideration is of particular interest in detail, especially in the digital context, and enables a holistic, fundamental analysis of the problem.
