摘　　要：《民法典》将网络虚拟财产列入受法律保护的财产范围,但在实践中关于网络虚拟财产的继承仍存在诸多限制条件,主要体现在网络服务协议对其所有权的规定、隐私保护对用户继承权的限制、网络运营商的技术优势地位导致用户举证困难以及现有遗产管理制度难以满足虚拟财产继承需求等方面。其中,网络服务协议效力有待明确,隐私保护与财产继承的利益冲突,以及现行法律规定无法满足网络虚拟技术发展,是继承困境的重要成因。为应对该困境,应当明确网络虚拟财产的继承权归属于用户,增强网络虚拟财产继承中对于死者隐私的保障,优化网络虚拟财产继承中的举证责任制度,并通过构建与完善数字化遗产管理新路径,加强对数字化管理技术的支持与监督。Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China includes online virtual assets in the scope of legally protected property,but in practice there are many restrictions on the inheritance of online virtual assets,mainly reflecting the provisions of the network service agreement on its ownership,the privacy protection on the user’s inheritance rights,the technical dominance of network operators leading to difficulties in proving users,and the existing estate management system is difficult to meet the needs of virtual assets inheritance.Among them,the validity of network service agreements to be clarified,the conflict of interest between privacy protection and property inheritance,and the inability of existing legal provisions to meet the development of online virtual technology are all important causes of this type of inheritance dilemma.It is important to clarify the inheritance rights of online virtual assets to the users,enhance the protection of the privacy of the deceased in the inheritance of online virtual assets,optimize the burden of proof system in the inheritance of online virtual assets,and strengthen the support and supervision of digital management technology through the construction and improvement of a new path of digital heritage management.
