Quiet Enjoyment
A real estate principle called “quiet enjoyment” identifies the sum total of what you, the occupant of a residence or office, are entitled to. Quiet enjoyment means peace and privacy and a building that works the way it’s supposed to. Those hidden passageways would be a completely illegal breach of quiet enjoyment.
Your physical home has an occupancy permit issued by city hall. It means that the structure is designed and built to provide quiet enjoyment and is therefore legally habitable. Would your second home – your timeline on your social network – be issued an occupancy permit attesting to its habitability? Certainly not.
Your new home has an office that’s just for family members and its financial and legal advisors.
And, most importantly, there is one file cabinet for each family member. It’s called your MOI, for MyOwnInformation. Information in your MOI is absolutely under your control. It’s protected through the use of both PKI technology and with legal components as well. Your personal information becomes your personal intellectual property, protected by both copyright law and secrecy law.
