The concept of "digital inheritance," which has emerged with the acceleration of digitalization, brings with it significant legal debates. This study addresses the definition of digital assets, whether they are included in the decedent's estate, and their inheritability from the perspective of Turkish law and comparative law. Within this scope, the legal status of social media accounts, contracts with service providers, the protection of personal data, and the balance between the deceased's privacy and the rights of heirs are examined. In light of German Federal Court and Turkish judicial decisions, it is argued that digital assets should pass to the heirs under the principle of universal succession. The study draws attention to the problems created by new digital assets proposing a new type of right called the "digital identity right" to encompass their complex nature, and concludes that a legal regulation on the subject is necessary.
