In the comments to Torley`d blog post Thank you for visiting our blog! :), the question was raised
From: nicevil

I have a question. What happens to your character in Second Life if you die in your Real Life ?
What happens to all your items and property ? Who inherits it ?

Maybe Second Life should have a system that allows you to write your will.

All that time and effort invested in Second Life shouldn’t go to waste. Don’t you think ?

I wrote a piece about death in an online world. Do read it if you’d like.

Torley informs us that no such policy exists. I would like to point out that a policy for this does exist. I have read about it somewhere on your website. Alas, I forget just where.

Hi Llauren -- to avoid confusion, I did *not* say that. :) I said:
"I’m not aware that we have a policy on that yet since, while tragic, it is pretty rare."
Which doesn't exclude the future possibility of a policy and increased awareness.

If there was a place it would be stated, the Terms of Service would be appropriate. Please email me if you find a source on the website.
