Issues of Civil Law Regulation of Posthumous Use of Intangible Benefits

Russian legislation recognizes the inalienable nature of intangible benefits, prohibits their inheritance, but at the same time allows the use of these benefits after the death of the rightholder by his heirs and other persons. Intangible benifits are actively commercialized in the domestic civil turnover, which corresponds to the global trend of commodification of personal attributes. However, the law does not answer the question of the grounds and methods of such use, its form and limits, which complicates the process of involving intangible benefits in civil circulation and creates the risk of their diminution after the death of the rightholder.
