Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has given rise to digital assets, particularly cryptocurrency, which poses new challenges in inheritance law, especially regarding legal certainty for parties not recognized as statutory heirs, such as stepchildren. In the legal systems of Indonesia and Singapore, stepchildren are normatively excluded from being intestate heirs. This research aims to analyze the inheritance rights of stepchildren over digital assets from the perspective of civil inheritance law in Indonesia and Singapore, as well as to compare the level of legal certainty provided by both legal systems, particularly regarding the recognition of cryptocurrency as an object of inheritance. The research method employed is normative legal research using statute, conceptual, and comparative approaches. This study utilizes primary legal materials in the form of relevant statutory regulations and court decisions, as well as secondary legal materials comprising legal doctrine, literature, and scholarly works discussing inheritance law and digital assets. The results indicate that in both Indonesia and Singapore, stepchildren are not recognized as statutory heirs; thus, they can only inherit assets through grant or testamentary mechanisms. However, a fundamental difference lies in the legal status of digital assets as objects of inheritance. Singapore offers a higher level of legal certainty because cryptocurrency has been recognized as property within its common law system.
