(a) After an opportunity for a hearing concerning the appointment or
authority of a guardian, the court may grant a guardian access to the
digital assets of a ward.
(b) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or directed by the user, a
custodian shall disclose to a guardian the catalogue of electronic
communications sent or received by a ward and any digital assets, other
than the content of electronic communications, in which the ward has a
right or interest if the ward gives the custodian:
(1) a written request for disclosure in physical or electronic form;
(2) a certified copy of the court order that gives the guardian
authority over the digital assets of the ward; and
(3) if requested by the custodian:
(A) a number, username, address, or other unique subscriber or account
identifier assigned by the custodian to identify the account of the
ward; or
(B) evidence linking the account to the ward.
(c) A guardian with general authority to manage the assets of a ward
may request a custodian of the digital assets of the ward to suspend or
terminate an account of the ward for good cause. A request made under
this section must be accompanied by a certified copy of the court order
giving the guardian authority over the ward's property.
