Bill > H1749

This bill enacts the Massachusetts Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act, which establishes a legal framework for fiduciaries (such as personal representatives, conservators, agents, and trustees) to access and manage a deceased or incapacitated person's digital assets, including the content of their electronic communications, subject to certain conditions and limitations. The bill outlines the procedures for fiduciaries to request disclosure of digital assets from custodians (such as technology companies), and it defines the rights and responsibilities of both fiduciaries and custodians. The bill aims to provide uniformity and clarity in this area of law, which has become increasingly important as more of our personal and financial information is stored digitally.
