Abstract

The existence of a parallel, virtual world presents a number of challenges to law and legal doctrine. Reality goes beyond its usual framework, and a new, physicallynon-existent world, the digital one, is considered real. It creates virtual art –images, photos, audio-visual recordings, works of art and science that can never be transmitted to the real world. This new virtual universe offers fast, easy access to various virtual financial instruments, e-wallets and the ability to trade cryptocurrency. All these virtual assets are someone‘s property, have their own financial dimension and has their own value. This in turn raises the question of what digital assets are, can they be inherited and what is digital heritage.
