Vellozo, Júlio Cesar de Oliveira2026-11-102026-11-102026https://repositorio.unialfa.com.br/handle/123456789/856This dissertation analyzes the institution of the will from the perspective of digital succession, investigating the legal challenges arising from the distribution of virtual assets and the protection of posthumous memory in the digital era. The growing digitalization of everyday life has expanded the concept of patrimony, encompassing social media profiles, cloud archives, crypto assets, and other immaterial goods whose transfer after death still lacks specific regulation in Brazilian law. The central issue lies in understanding how the principles of autonomy of will and legal certainty can be applied to digital inheritance, ensuring the validity and effectiveness of electronic testamentary dispositions. The general objective is to examine the feasibility and limits of the digital will within civil law, as well as to discuss its ethical and existential implications. This study is justified by the urgent need for normative modernization and the social relevance of the topic, which involves the preservation of human dignity, personal identity, and posthumous memory. The research adopts a qualitative, theoretical, and exploratory approach, based on bibliographic and documentary analysis of doctrinal works, legislation, and judicial decisions from Brazil and other jurisdictions. It concludes that the formal recognition of the digital will is essential to ensure the effectiveness of postmortem autonomy and must be regulated through the reinterpretation of classical legal principles in light of technological developments, harmonizing tradition, innovation, and humanity within contemporary inheritance law.ptTestamento digital.
