Domains - After Death?

[tsj5j]

I mean, let's say the owner just died, without any instructions.

Do normal laws apply and transfer to the next of kin, or is it left to rot?

Just curious, that's all.

They can be a part of the estate, but I think if the deceased hasn't left username/password info to his registrars then people may have a hard time actually getting them.

Ah, but we can only wish we can keep our registered domain names forever. :hehe:

They can change owners. But only if one bothers to do so with their registrar.

I would set it on autorenew in GoDaddy. Then monetize them ins such a way that they earn atleast their own renewal fees. Also I will keep some amount in my paypal. So no worry for next 1000 of years.

Means only if paypal and internet survives next 1000 years.
