§ 872 Fiduciary Digital Asset Access
This law says that anyone who handles a person's money, property, or digital assets after they die or can't manage them themselves must follow special rules, no matter when the will, trust, or power of attorney was created.
A sibling is the executor of their parent's estate and also manages the parent's online photo storage after the parent dies.
Because the sibling is a personal representative handling the parent's assets, the law requires them to treat the digital photos like any other property and follow the rules for managing them.
