AI Summary

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act, which provides a legal framework for fiduciaries (such as personal representatives, conservators, agents, and trustees) to access and manage the digital assets of a deceased, protected, or principal individual. The bill outlines procedures for custodians (providers of digital services) to disclose digital assets, including content of electronic communications, to authorized fiduciaries. It also establishes the fiduciary's duties and authority, and provides immunity to custodians acting in good faith compliance with the law. The bill aims to promote uniformity with other states that have enacted similar laws.
