(b) Grant a fiduciary or designated recipient partial access to the user's account sufficient to perform the tasks with which the fiduciary or designated recipient is charged.

(a) A subset limited by date of the user's digital assets.

(b) All of the user's digital assets to the fiduciary or designated recipient.
