Computer and Technology Law Section
Annual Meeting, Elections and CLE
Deadline to
Register: May 17, 2015
The Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital
Assets Act (UFADAA) was recently promulgated by the Uniform Law Commission (ULC)
to assist fiduciaries who represent deceased and incapacitated persons--personal
representatives, trustees, conservators, and agents with power of
attorney. Each fiduciary needs access to the digital assets (electronic
records) of the represented person, in order to administer the estate or trust
or run the affairs of an incapacitated or authorizing person. This Act
clarifies that the fiduciary is an "authorized user" of the represented person's
online accounts, rather than a "hacker" of those accounts, in violation of the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and similar state statutes. The Act
presumes the fiduciary to have the "lawful consent" of the represented person to
gain access to those accounts, rather than being barred from access by the
Stored Communications Act (SCA) in the Electronic Communications Privacy Act
(ECPA). It requires the online service provider to provide access to the
fiduciary, once certain conditions are met. Professor Kunz was one of
three ABA Advisors to the ULC study committee and drafting committee, bringing
her electronic commerce expertise to the drafting process.
