AI Summary

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act, which governs how fiduciaries (such as personal representatives, conservators, agents, and trustees) can access and manage the digital assets of a user, including the content of electronic communications and other digital records. The bill sets forth procedures for custodians (digital service providers) to disclose digital assets to authorized fiduciaries, and outlines the rights and duties of fiduciaries in managing these assets. The bill also allows users to direct custodians on the disclosure of their digital assets through online tools or other records. The bill applies to fiduciary actions taken before, on, or after the effective date, one year after the bill's passage.
