(2)Grant the 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.

(b)A custodian may assess a reasonable administrative charge for the cost of disclosing digital assets under this part.

(1)Disclose a subset limited by date of the user’s digital assets.
(2)Disclose all of the user’s digital assets to the fiduciary or designated recipient.
(3)Disclose none of the user’s digital assets.
