Core Viewpoint - The increasing importance of digital assets among young people necessitates a legal framework that integrates technology and regulations to protect digital inheritance rights [1][2][3]. Group 1: Digital Inheritance Trends - The number of young individuals aged 18-30 creating wills has increased by 300% over the past five years, with 21.5% of post-90s and 19.7% of post-00s including digital assets in their wills, significantly higher than the 12.7% of post-80s [1]. - Digital inheritance encompasses both economic assets like virtual currencies and digital art, as well as personal information such as social media accounts and chat records, reflecting a dual nature of property and personal identity [2]. Group 2: Legal Framework and Protection - Legal clarity is essential for the ownership of digital assets, ensuring that users can transfer their rights through wills or statutory inheritance, thus respecting user wishes and protecting heirs' rights [3]. - The EU's Digital Single Market Copyright Directive serves as a model for distinguishing between inheritable property and personal rights, providing a framework for managing digital inheritance [3]. Group 3: Legislative Improvements - Current laws do not explicitly include digital assets, leading to uncertainty in judicial practices; thus, a comprehensive legal framework is needed to define digital inheritance, inheritance rules, and platform responsibilities [4]. - Establishing a national digital inheritance database using blockchain technology can enhance the management and traceability of digital assets, while a cross-departmental coordination body can address complex issues related to digital inheritance disputes [4]. Group 4: Technological Integration - Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, immutable, and traceable solution for protecting digital inheritance, ensuring the authenticity and longevity of digital assets [5]. - The integration of digital identity verification systems can further secure the inheritance process, minimizing legal disputes arising from identity issues [5]. - A dual protection system combining legal frameworks and technological innovations is essential for safeguarding digital legacies in the digital age [5].
