Have NFTs even been legally tested as inheritance?
- pc86 5y agoWhy would they need to be tested? Don't get me wrong, spending thousands on a generated illustration of a zombie is ridiculous, but if someone has access to the token, they can bequeath that access. They don't need some special mechanism to do it.
- frollo 5y agoWhich means that anybody who gets access to the token can steal it and there is no legal recourse for the legitimate owner. That's not exactly what most people look for when they decide what to leave to their kin after they pass away.
- pc86 5y agoIsn't the whole point of NFTs on a blockchain that you have a record of provenance for the token? So just "having" it isn't enough?
- Igelau 5y agoYour soul bears the validity of your NFTs into the afterlife, making them ill-suited for inheritance. They'll all be lining up for St. Peter covered in Nerd Chimps.
