Abstract: With the popularization of the internet since the 21st century, social networks have multiplied. In this area, the possibility of recognizing digital inheritance, understood as the totality of data of a personal nature contained in social networks, as an institute of succession law, began to be debated. This article aims to discuss the possibility of the so-called “digital collection” integrating the inheritance of the deceased, as well as its transmission to heirs. The article was based on bibliographies and documents related to the topic. It was observed that there were no specific rules regulating the matter, although the “internet civil framework” and the general data protection law have indirectly discussed the inviolability of people's privacy and data. It was also noted the existence of bills being deliberated in the National Congress and decisions in international law that aim to recognize the “digital collection” as heritage transferable to heirs. In this way, it is up to the law to overcome paradigms and adjust to the changes that occur in the media, especially with the advent of the internet, recognizing the possibility of (legitimate) succession of digital assets.
