Because LL has said as much in the Terms of Service.

It is against the TOS

From: TOS

2.4 Account registrations are limited per unique person. Transfers of accounts are generally not permitted.

Linden Lab may require you to submit an indication of unique identity in the account registration process; e.g. credit card or other payment information, or SMS message code or other information requested by Linden Lab. When an account is created, the information given for the account must match the address, phone number, and/or other unique identifier information associated with the identification method. You may register multiple accounts per identification method only at Linden Lab's sole discretion. A single account may be used by a single legal entity at Linden Lab's sole discretion and subject to Linden Lab's requirements. Additional accounts beyond the first account per unique user may be subject to fees upon account creation. You may not transfer your Account to any third party without the prior written consent of Linden Lab; notwithstanding the foregoing, Linden Lab will not unreasonably withhold consent to the transfer of an Account in good standing by operation of valid written will to a single natural person, provided that proper notice and documentation are delivered as requested by Linden Lab.

The TOS seems to say you need permission, and permission will likely be granted.

You need to re-read that carefully. It says "by operation of a valid written will". Basically you can ensure that when you die in RL your account can be bequethed to someone you want in your last Will and Testament. In this instance LL will likely grant your wish.

For most people, this is not what they are after!


There was another thread about this recently, the last post in that thread from me has the exact quotes and the links to the pages on the SL website where they are taken from: /327/91/321791/1.html
