South Carolina H4656 expedites court orders for digital asset access for deceased minors.

South Carolina H4656 amends the South Carolina Code to expedite court orders for digital asset access when the fiduciary is a parent or legal guardian of a deceased minor. The bill mandates that custodians comply with requests from fiduciaries or designated recipients to disclose digital assets or terminate accounts within sixty days. If the custodian fails to comply, the fiduciary can apply to the court for an order. The court must prioritize and aim to resolve these applications within thirty days if the fiduciary is a parent or legal guardian of the deceased minor.
