Aussonderung
Ob verwahrte kryptobasierte Vermögenswerte bereits mit Hilfe von Art. 242 SchKG ausgesondert werden konnten, war in der Lehre bisher umstritten. Am 1. August 2021 ist nun Art. 242a SchKG in Kraft getreten, der Klarheit bei der Aussonderung kryptobasierter Vermögenswerte schafft. Neu wird zudem mit Art. 242b SchKG ein gesetzlicher Anspruch für den Zugang zu Daten geschaffen, die sich in Gewahrsam der Konkursmasse befinden. Damit wurde ein weitgehend unbestrittenes Anliegen ins SchKG aufgenommen.
Crypto Asset Estate Planning
Crypto assets in the estate: how and to whom are crypto assets bequeathed? How can the heirs' access to the crypto assets be ensured? What happens to crypto assets in case of loss of capacity of judgement and what impact do crypto asset gifts have on the future estate? In the current edition of the magazine successio (3/2021), Alexandra Geiger, Certified Specialist SBA Inheritance Law, and Stefan Keller, outline how crypto currencies are legally classified and why they are to be qualified as (inheritable) assets within the meaning of the Swiss Civil Code. Furthermore, the focus of the article is on selected legal and practical questions in connection with the handling of crypto assets in estate planning and administration.
