(d) A custodian may deny a request under the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (2015) from a fiduciary or designated recipient for disclosure of digital assets or to terminate an account if the custodian is aware of any lawful access to the account following the receipt of the fiduciary’s request.
(e) The Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (2015) does not limit a custodian's ability to obtain or require a fiduciary or designated recipient requesting disclosure or termination under the act to obtain a court order which:
(1) specifies that an account belongs to the protected person or principal;
(2) specifies that there is sufficient consent from the protected person or principal to support the requested disclosure; and
(3) contains a finding required by law other than the act.
