to perform the tasks with which the fiduciary or designated recipient is charged; (3) Provide a fiduciary or designated recipient a copy in a record of any digital asset

custodian or fiduciary may seek an order from the court to disclose any of the following: (1) A subset limited by date of the user's digital assets; (2) All of the user's digital assets to the fiduciary or designated recipient; (3) None of the user's digital assets; (4) All of the user's digital assets to the court for review in camera.
