Delaware House Bill 345, Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets and Digital Accounts Act
Delaware became the first U.S. state to give a person’s digital assets the same status as tangible assets where inheritance laws are concerned. Starting from January 1, 2015, Delaware’s residents will inherit social media and e-mail accounts. The heir, estate’s representative (or even the conservator or agent of a living person) will be allowed to obtain information by sending social media companies a certified copy of the will, trust instrument, or power of attorney.
