Bill > HB92

This bill establishes a new chapter in the Hawaii Revised Statutes titled "Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets." It defines key terms like "digital asset," "fiduciary," and "custodian," and outlines the rights and authority of personal representatives, guardians, agents, and trustees to access and control the digital assets of deceased individuals, wards, principals, and settlors. The bill also requires custodians to comply with fiduciaries' requests for access to digital assets and provides immunity to custodians who act in good faith. The bill applies to agents, personal representatives, guardians, and trustees regardless of when the power of attorney, letters of administration, guardianship, or trust was created, and takes effect on July 1, 2019.
