Abstract
Technological progress and achievements in the fi eld of bioethics bring about important changes in the material and personal scope of inheritance law regulation, including the consequences of human death. Particularly, it concerns situations when a deceased person has expressed (or not) a wish to use his or her genetic material (for example, post-mortem fertilization), to decide about his or her life and death (through a will or testament) or to dispose of digital assets, data and online accounts (digital death). Th e eff ective legal protection of these entities is justifi ed by the principle of equality and the need to defend personal rights. Th e latter results in the requirement to propose normative solutions that take into account the consequences of biotechnological development; its eff ects already noticeable in several areas of law. In the fi eld of inheritance law, besides the property rights traditionally included, new rights have appeared that are without any explicit property character. Th e authors of this paper argue in favor of including, within the scope of inheritance law, the right to post-mortem conception and to dispose of digital assets. Due to the achievements of modern medicine, a testament also should become subject to legal regulation.
