representative gives the custodian:

(b) a copy of the death certificate of the user;
(c) a certified copy of the letter of appointment of the executor,
administrator, or personal representative or a small-estate affidavit or
court order; and
(d) if requested by the custodian:
(1) a number, username, address, or other unique subscriber or account
identifier assigned by the custodian to identify the user's account;
(2) evidence linking the account to the user;
(3) an affidavit stating that disclosure of the user's digital assets
is reasonably necessary for administration of the estate; or

by the information specified in subparagraph (1); or
