MS HB1217

Creates the "Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets and Digital Accounts Act" to allow fiduciaries (personal representatives, guardians, agents, and trustees) to access and control digital assets and accounts of account holders.

Defines digital assets as data, emails, documents, audio, video, images, social media content, and other electronically stored information, and digital accounts as email, social media, financial management, and other online accounts.

Requires custodians holding digital assets or accounts to comply with valid written requests from fiduciaries within 30 days, accompanied by certified copies of letters testamentary, court orders, powers of attorney, or trust instruments.

Grants fiduciaries the same access and rights as account holders, including authority to transfer, copy, or destroy digital assets, subject to applicable state and federal law and end user license agreements.

Provides custodians immunity from liability when acting in good faith and exempts employer digital assets regularly used by employees from the act's provisions; effective July 1, 2015.
