Summary/Abstract: Born in the private spaces of their ”fathers”, the most popular social networks of our days extend today over the entire world and follow the human presence out of space. Many peronalities of our days world have their own social networks accounts, genuine extensions of their persons, activity and work. Post mortem, the subsistence of social networks accounts generates some questions and the answer to these questins must be discovered at the confluence of the will of the social networks accounts operators and users, on the one hand, and the provisions of our law, on the other hand. Our perspective looks after the former and the potential contentious situations that could appear after the death of the social networks users.
