(1) When disclosing digital property of a
user under this chapter, the custodian may in its sole discretion
provide a fiduciary or designated recipient with any of the
following:
(a) Full access to the user’s account.
(b) Partial access to the user’s account that is sufficient to perform the tasks with which the fiduciary or designated recipient is
charged.
(c) A copy in a record of any digital property that the user
could have accessed if the user were alive, had full capacity, and
had full access to the account on the date on which the custodian
received the request for disclosure.
(2) A custodian may assess a reasonable administrative
charge to a fiduciary or designated recipient for the cost of disclosing digital property under this chapter.
(3) A custodian is not required to disclose under this chapter
digital property deleted by the user.
(4) If a user directs or a fiduciary or designated recipient requests a custodian to disclose under this chapter some, but not all,
of the user’s digital property, the custodian is not required to disclose the digital property if segregation of the digital property
would impose an undue burden on the custodian. If the custodian
refuses to disclose digital property because the custodian believes
the segregation of the digital property imposes an undue burden,
the custodian or fiduciary may seek an order from the court to
disclose any of the following:
(a) To the fiduciary or designated recipient, a subset of the
user’s digital property that is limited by date.
(b) To the fiduciary or designated recipient, all of the user’s
digital property.
(c) None of the user’s digital property.
(d) To the court for review in camera, all of the user’s digital
property.
