2021 Delaware Code|Title 12 - Decedents' Estates and Fiduciary Relations|Chapter 50. Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets and Digital Accounts|§ 5004. Control of digital accounts and digital assets by a fiduciary.

§ 5004. Control of digital accounts and digital assets by a fiduciary. (a) Except as otherwise provided by a governing instrument or court order, a fiduciary may exercise control over any and all rights in digital assets and digital accounts of an account holder, to the extent permitted under applicable state or federal law, including copyright law, or regulations or any end user license agreement. (b) If a provision in an end user license agreement limits a fiduciary's access to or control over a digital asset or digital account of an account holder, the provision is void as against the strong public policy of this State, unless the account holder has agreed to the provision by an affirmative act separate from the account holder's assent to other provisions of the end user license agreement. (c) A choice-of-law provision in an end user license agreement is unenforceable against a fiduciary action under this chapter to the extent the provision designates law that enforces or would enforce a limitation on a fiduciary's access to or control over digital assets or digital accounts that is void under subsection (b) of this section. 79 Del.

(b) A custodian is not required to accept a valid written request if:  (1) The custodian is not otherwise required to engage in a transaction with the account holder in the same circumstances; (2) Engaging in a transaction with the fiduciary or the account holder in the same circumstances would be inconsistent with applicable state or federal law, including copyright law, or regulations or any end user license agreement; or (3) The custodian has actual knowledge that the fiduciary does not have the authority to perform the act requested. (c) A custodian that in good faith accepts a valid written request without actual knowledge that it is void, invalid, or terminated, that the purported fiduciary's authority is void, invalid, or terminated, or that the fiduciary is exceeding or improperly exercising the fiduciary's authority may rely upon such valid written request as if it were genuine, valid and still in effect, the fiduciary's authority were genuine, valid and still in effect, and the fiduciary had not exceeded and had properly exercised the authority. (d) For purposes of this section, a custodian that conducts activities through employees is without actual knowledge of a fact relating to a valid written request, an account holder, or a fiduciary if the employee conducting the transaction involving the valid written request is without actual knowledge of the fact. Notification of revocation of a valid written request by an account holder or fiduciary to an officer of any custodian shall constitute actual notice to all employees. (e) A custodian that refuses in violation of this section to accept a valid written request from a fiduciary that complies with § 5005(c) of this title is subject to:  (1) A court order compelling compliance with the valid written request; and (2) Liability for damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred in any action or proceeding that confirms the validity or authority of a fiduciary to act, or compels acceptance of the fiduciary's valid written request under § 5005(c) of this title. (f) A custodian acting in good faith is immune from liability for an action done in compliance with this chapter. (g) A custodian acting in good faith is immune from civil liability for the custodian's accidental destruction of any digital asset or digital account subject to this chapter. 79 Del.

(f) The number on the civil union license shall be filled in by the issuing clerk of the peace, unless it has been previously affixed and shall be the same number as that appearing on the application for such license.
