MS Code § 91-21-17 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 91 - Trusts and Estates|Chapter 21 - Uniform Transfer-on-Death Security Registration Act|§ 91-21-17. Protection of registering entity

  A registering entity is not required to offer or to accept a request for security registration in beneficiary form. If a registration in beneficiary form is offered by a registering entity, the owner requesting registration in beneficiary form assents to the protections given to the registering entity by this chapter.   By accepting a request for registration of a security in beneficiary form, the registering entity agrees that the registration will be implemented on death of the deceased owner as provided in this chapter.   A registering entity is discharged from all claims to a security by the estate, creditors, heirs or devisee of a deceased owner if it registers a transfer of the security in accordance with Section 91-21-15 and does so in good faith reliance (a) on the registration, (b) on this chapter, and (c) on information provided to it by affidavit of the personal representative of the deceased owner, or by the surviving beneficiary or by the surviving beneficiary's representatives, or other information available to the registering entity. The protections of this chapter do not extend to a reregistration or payment made after a registering entity has received written notice from any claimant to any interest in the security objecting to implementation of a registration in beneficiary form. No other notice or other information available to the registering entity affects its right to protection under this chapter.   The protection provided by this chapter to the registering entity of a security does not affect the rights of beneficiaries in disputes between themselves and other claimants to ownership of the security transferred or its value or proceeds.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 91 - Trusts and Estates|Chapter 21 - Uniform Transfer-on-Death Security Registration Act|§ 91-21-19. Nontestamentary transfer on death

  A transfer on death resulting from a registration in beneficiary form is effective by reason of the contract regarding the registration between the owner and the registering entity and this chapter and is not testamentary.   This chapter does not limit the rights of creditors of security owners against beneficiaries and other transferees under other laws of this state.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 91 - Trusts and Estates|Chapter 21 - Uniform Transfer-on-Death Security Registration Act|§ 91-21-21. Terms, conditions, and forms for registration

  A registering entity offering to accept registrations in beneficiary form may establish the terms and conditions under which it will receive requests (a) for registrations in beneficiary form, and (b) for implementation of registrations in beneficiary form, including requests for cancellation of previously registered TOD beneficiary designations and requests for reregistration to effect a change of beneficiary. The terms and conditions so established may provide for proving death, avoiding or resolving any problems concerning fractional shares, designating primary and contingent beneficiaries, and substituting a named beneficiary's descendants to take in the place of the named beneficiary in the event of the beneficiary's death. Substitution may be indicated by appending to the name of the primary beneficiary the letters LDPS, standing for "lineal descendants per stirpes." This designation substitutes a deceased beneficiary's descendants who survive the owner for a beneficiary who fails to so survive, the descendants to be identified and to share in accordance with the law of the beneficiary's domicile at the owner's death governing inheritance by descendants of an intestate. Other forms of identifying beneficiaries who are to take on one or more contingencies, and rules for providing proofs and assurances needed to satisfy reasonable concerns by registering entities regarding conditions and identities relevant to accurate implementation of registration beneficiary form, may be contained in a registering entity's terms and conditions.   The following are illustrations of registrations in beneficiary form which a registering entity may authorize:   Sole owner-sole beneficiary: John S Brown TOD (or POD) John S Brown Jr.   Multiple owners-sole beneficiary: John S Brown Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr.   Multiple owners-primary and secondary (substituted) beneficiaries: (i) John S Brown Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr SUB BENE Peter Q Brown; or (ii) John S Brown Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr LDPS.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 91 - Trusts and Estates|Chapter 23 - Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act|§ 91-23-7. User direction for disclosure of digital assets

  A user may use an online tool to direct the custodian to disclose to a designated recipient or not to disclose some or all of the user's digital assets, including the content of electronic communications. If the online tool allows the user to modify or delete a direction at all times, a direction regarding disclosure using an online tool overrides a contrary direction by the user in a will, trust, power of attorney or other record.   If a user has not used an online tool to give direction under subsection (1) or if the custodian has not provided an online tool, the user may allow or prohibit in a will, trust, power of attorney, or other record, disclosure to a fiduciary of some or all of the user's digital assets, including the content of electronic communications sent or received by the user.   A user's direction under subsection (1) or (2) overrides a contrary provision in a terms-of-service agreement that does not require the user to act affirmatively and distinctly from the user's assent to the terms of service.
MS Code § 91-23-9 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 91 - Trusts and Estates|Chapter 23 - Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act|§ 91-23-9. Terms-of-service agreement

  This chapter does not change or impair a right of a custodian or a user under a terms-of-service agreement to access and use digital assets of the user.   This chapter does not give a fiduciary or designated recipient any new or expanded rights other than those held by the user for whom, or for whose estate, the fiduciary or designated recipient acts or represents.   A fiduciary's or designated recipient's access to digital assets may be modified or eliminated by a user, by federal law, or by a terms-of-service agreement if the user has not provided direction under Section 91-23-7.
MS Code § 91-23-11 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 91 - Trusts and Estates|Chapter 23 - Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act|§ 91-23-11. Procedure for disclosing digital assets

  When disclosing digital assets of a user under this chapter, the custodian may at its sole discretion:   Grant a fiduciary or designated recipient full access to the user's account;   Grant a fiduciary or designated recipient partial access to the user's account sufficient to perform the tasks with which the fiduciary or designated recipient is charged; or   Provide a fiduciary or designated recipient a copy in a record of any digital asset that, on the date the custodian received the request for disclosure, the user could have accessed if the user were alive and had full capacity and access to the account.     A custodian may assess a reasonable administrative charge for the cost of disclosing digital assets under this chapter.   A custodian need not disclose under this chapter a digital asset deleted by a user.   If a user directs or a fiduciary requests a custodian to disclose under this chapter some, but not all, of the user's digital assets, the custodian need not disclose the assets if segregation of the assets would impose an undue burden on the custodian. If the custodian believes the direction or request imposes an undue burden, the custodian or fiduciary may seek an order from the court to disclose:   A subset limited by date of the user's digital assets;   All of the user's digital assets to the fiduciary or designated recipient;   None of the user's digital assets; or   All of the user's digital assets to the court for review in camera.

  The legal duties imposed on a fiduciary charged with managing tangible property apply to the management of digital assets, including:   The duty of care;   The duty of loyalty; and   The duty of confidentiality.     A fiduciary's or designated recipient's authority with respect to a digital asset of a user:   Except as otherwise provided in Section 91-23-7, is subject to the applicable terms of service;   Is subject to other applicable law, including copyright law;   In the case of a fiduciary, is limited by the scope of the fiduciary's duties; and   May not be used to impersonate the user.     A fiduciary with authority over the property of a decedent, protected person, principal or settlor has the right to access any digital asset in which the decedent, protected person, principal or settlor had a right or interest and that is not held by a custodian or subject to a terms-of-service agreement.

A fiduciary of a user may request a custodian to terminate the user's account. A request for termination must be in writing, in either physical or electronic form, and accompanied by:   If the user is deceased, a certified copy of the death certificate of the user;   A certified copy of the letters of administration or letters testamentary of the representative, court order, power of attorney, or trust giving the fiduciary authority over the account; and   If requested by the custodian:   A number, username, address or other unique subscriber or account identifier assigned by the custodian to identify the user's account;   Evidence linking the account to the user; or   A finding by the court that the user had a specific account with the custodian, identifiable by the information specified in subparagraph (i) of this paragraph (c).
