Will for virtual property

In addition to the real wealth, virtual assets accumulate over many years of activity on the internet also included in the will of some people.

The Telegraph reported that veteran actor Bruce Willis is considering the possibility of suing Apple in hopes of leaving his daughter with a valuable music collection on iTunes. With more and more people buying virtual media products online, ownership has become a headache for stakeholders, after account owners suddenly realize that they do not have real ownership. The deal with books, movies, music or games despite spending a lot of money to buy. After investing so much money, of course everyone wants to leave their children when they die.

If not prepared, the entire iTunes store may be lost in case the account holder dies

In the present era, almost everyone has accumulated a large amount of good digital assets. And when they die, what will happen to all those virtual assets? Of course, when writing a will, leaving relatives with the entire library on iTunes seems more difficult than giving them a CD collection. And according to information from Facebook, 'it's quite complicated' . The most popular social network on the planet has a function to commemorate a deceased person by allowing users the option of 'losing a loved one'. It even allows you to upload photos of the dead. Facebook also offers a file format that allows users to report on the death of another user, but they must provide legal evidence such as death notices, obituaries or news articles published in newspapers.

As for Twitter, in order to close an account, its owner has gone wild, the micro-blog asks the relevant person to send a notice by e-mail or fax, along with documentation that the person has died. Some sites like Amazon, Grooveshark and Foursquare do not provide any information on how to lock the account of the dead. iTunes is even more complicated, making it even more obscure to identify ownership of the data contained in the deceased's account. In this regard, the DeceasedAccount.com website lists policies of most popular social networks, and the websites that receive the most participation. However, the simplest way to ensure your data is where you want it to be, such as children, is to create a digital will.

According to Fox News, SecureSafe is one of the few companies established with a business goal that many people nowadays is quite odd: advising how people can use their own data once they leave. mundane Andreas Jacob, director of marketing and information of SecureSafe, said that while most of our data may not be important after death, there are still very important documents and passwords.'90% of my own data may be useless, but the remaining 10% is a valuable asset that I want to give back to my wife, children, colleagues and families, ' Jacob said. For example, his iTunes and Amazon accounts have pre-loaded money, and it will evaporate if his wife and children can't log in.

SecureSafe works by allowing users to download all documents and passwords into their accounts, and register the beneficiary name. In case the user dies, the beneficiary will take steps to retrieve all necessary data to ensure that no virtual account is wasted.
