The project, which follows on from the 'Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Feasibility Study' by the US Uniform Law Commission, aims to draft guiding principles on this increasingly developing area with a view to facilitating the position of those entitled to digital assets and the position of those who increasingly have to deal with digital assets in their daily legal practice, particularly judges, notaries and bailiffs. These will propose a firm basis for harmonising the laws of the Member States in such a way that these laws: (a) are based on a common understanding of what is meant by, 'digital assets', 'access to digital assets', etc; (b) give basic rights to those entitled to such assets; and (c) facilitate the work of legal practitioners when they are confronted with problems surrounding digital assets.
