Authorizes executor or administrator to take control of online accounts of deceased person.
This bill authorizes estate executors or administrators to legally access, manage, or delete online accounts (such as social media, email, or microblogging services) belonging to a deceased person. It directly affects families and estate administrators who previously faced obstacles in handling digital assets after a death. The law clarifies that executors may take necessary steps - including seeking court orders - to control these accounts, aligning with similar laws in Oklahoma and other states. The bill takes immediate effect and aims to resolve practical challenges in managing digital legacies.
