Overview
This bill would give the executor or administrator of a deceased person’s estate the authority to manage the deceased’s online accounts, such as social media, email, and messaging services. Currently, it can be difficult for these representatives to access and control these accounts. The bill aims to streamline this process and ensure that digital assets are handled properly after someone passes away. It’s modeled after similar legislation in Oklahoma and other states.
