The European Certificate of Succession is an obligatory form that may be used in cross-border succession cases. The form standardizes the information to be provided to interested parties. Could this standardization be further developed through digitalization, as standardization and digitalization are as closely connected as standardization and the use of forms? Could an e-copy of the certificate, issued by a smart contract running on a blockchain, be stored in the e-wallet which every European citizen might have in the near future, allowing the digital presentation of the copy to, for example, a bank or a land registry, securing Self-Sovereign Identity?
