Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) As used in this section, "governmental agency" means an executive, legislative, or judicial
agency, department, board, commission, authority, institution, or instrumentality of the federal
government or of a state or of a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state.
(2) Except as provided in Subsection (3), if other law of this state requires an electronic non-
testamentary estate planning document to be retained, transmitted, copied, or filed, the
requirement is satisfied by retaining, transmitting, copying, or filing an electronic record that:
(a) accurately reflects the information in the document after the document was first generated in
final form as an electronic record or under Section 75-13-209; and

(b) remains accessible to the extent required by the other law.
(3) A requirement under Subsection (2) to retain a record does not apply to information the sole
purpose of which is to enable the record to be sent, communicated, or received.
(4) A person may satisfy Subsection (2) by using the services of another person.
(5) If other law of this state requires a non-testamentary estate planning document to be presented
or retained in the non-testamentary estate planning document's original form, or provides
consequences if a non-testamentary estate planning document is not presented or retained in
the non-testamentary estate planning document's original form, an electronic record retained in
accordance with Subsection (2) satisfies the other law.
(6) This section does not preclude a governmental agency from specifying requirements for the
retention of a record subject to the agency's jurisdiction in addition to those in this section.
