Rhode Island Digital Assets After Death
Rhode Island digital assets pass under chapter 33-27.1. A custodian gets sixty days, and the personal representative needs a probate court finding first.
Rhode Island adopted the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act in 2019 and put it at R.I. Gen. Laws chapter 33-27.1. Five fiduciaries get a written route to a person's online accounts: a personal representative, an agent under a power of attorney, a trustee, a guardian and a conservator. A custodian that receives a complete request has sixty days to act on it.

Cite Chapter 33-27.1, And Never Chapter 33-27
Rhode Island passed the act twice in one session. P.L. 2019, ch. 200, § 2 and P.L. 2019, ch. 262, § 2 both created the chapter, and § 33-27.1-1 names it the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act.
The older law is gone. Chapter 33-27, the Access to Decedents' Electronic Mail Accounts Act, is repealed in full. The General Assembly's chapter index prints the title with "[Repealed.]" attached and then lists § 33-27-1 through § 33-27-5, each one marked repealed. Any article that answers a Rhode Island email question out of chapter 33-27 is quoting law that no longer exists.
Section 33-27.1-3 sets the reach, and it reaches backward. The chapter covers a fiduciary acting under a will or power of attorney executed before, on or after July 15, 2019, a personal representative acting for a decedent who died before, on or after that date, a guardian or conservator appointed at any point, and a trustee under a trust created at any point. It binds a custodian if the user lives in Rhode Island or lived here at death. It does not touch an employer's digital asset that an employee used in the ordinary course of the employer's business.

Take the 2-minute assessmentRhode Island Wrote A Court Finding Into The Deceased-User Route
Here is the Rhode Island difference, and summaries copied from the uniform text miss it.
Section 33-27.1-7 governs the content of a deceased user's electronic communications. It opens on consent: the custodian discloses where the deceased user consented or a court directs disclosure. Then it lists eight items the personal representative hands the custodian, and item (7) is a finding by the court that disclosure of the content is reasonably necessary for the administration of the estate. That item stands alone. Only item (8), a further finding about the account and about federal law, waits on the custodian asking for it.
Section 33-27.1-8 runs the lighter track the same way. A catalogue of communications and other digital assets goes to the personal representative unless the user prohibited disclosure or the court directs otherwise, on seven items, and item (6) is again a finding by the court that disclosure is reasonably necessary for administration of the estate. Item (7) is the conditional one.
Read the two lists together and the Rhode Island order of operations falls out. A personal representative who wants the messages or the account inventory asks the probate court of the city or town where the estate is open for the finding, then writes to the custodian. The sixty-day clock in § 33-27.1-16 runs from the custodian's receipt of the required information, so a package that arrives without the finding never starts it.
Both sections take the same package: a written request in physical or electronic form, a certified copy of the death certificate, and a certified copy of the letter of appointment, a small estate affidavit or a court order, plus the account identifier the custodian uses and evidence linking the account to the user. Section 33-27.1-7 adds one item the catalogue track leaves out. Unless the user gave direction through an online tool, the representative also supplies a copy of the will, trust, power of attorney or other record showing the user consented to disclosure of content.
The Online Tool Outranks Your Will
Section 33-27.1-4(a) lets a user tell a custodian, through the custodian's own online tool, to disclose or withhold some or all of the user's digital assets, including the content of electronic communications. One condition attaches. The tool has to let the user modify or delete that direction at all times. Where it does, the direction beats a contrary direction in a will, a trust, a power of attorney or any other record.
Subsection (b) picks up the rest. Where the user never used a tool, or the custodian offered none, the user may allow or prohibit disclosure to a fiduciary in a will, trust, power of attorney or other record. Subsection (c) then puts either direction ahead of a contrary term in the terms-of-service agreement, so long as that term did not require the user to act affirmatively and distinctly from clicking accept.
Platform settings win, and each one takes a few minutes. Start with these.
| Provider | Tool | What the named person receives |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | Legacy Contact | An access code plus a death certificate opens the data stored in the Apple Account |
| Inactive Account Manager | Up to ten people receive chosen data after a period of inactivity you set | |
| Meta | Legacy contact | One person may memorialize a Facebook profile, pin a post and request removal, without reading messages |
Set the tool, then keep the will and the power of attorney saying the same thing. A tool that names one person and a will that names another produces the exact fight the statute exists to settle. Rhode Island calls the person you name through a tool a designated recipient under § 33-27.1-2(9), and that person stands beside a fiduciary in the disclosure procedure of § 33-27.1-6 and in the sixty-day compliance rule of § 33-27.1-16.
What Rhode Island Counts As A Digital Asset
Rhode Island digital assets start from a wide definition and one narrow carve-out. Section 33-27.1-2(10) defines a digital asset as an electronic record in which an individual has a right or interest, and excludes an underlying asset or liability unless that asset or liability is itself an electronic record.
That carve-out settles more arguments than its length suggests. The login to a Rhode Island bank account is a digital asset. The money behind it is ordinary estate property, released against the certificate of appointment like any other account, and it belongs on the § 33-9-1 inventory. A photo library, a domain name, an email archive, a loyalty balance, a monetized channel and a self-custodied crypto wallet all sit inside the definition.
Two more definitions do the heavy lifting. Subdivision (4) makes a catalogue of electronic communications the who, the when and the electronic address, with none of the message text. Subdivision (6) makes content the substance or meaning of what the user sent or received, held in electronic storage or carried by a provider, and not readily accessible to the public. Every request under this chapter lands on one side of that line.
Content Versus Catalogue, Fiduciary By Fiduciary
| Fiduciary | Content of communications | Catalogue and other digital assets |
|---|---|---|
| Personal representative | § 33-27.1-7: the user consented or the court directs, plus a court finding of necessity | § 33-27.1-8: released unless the user prohibited it, plus a court finding of necessity |
| Agent under a power of attorney | § 33-27.1-9: the document must expressly grant authority over content | § 33-27.1-10: specific authority over digital assets, or general authority to act |
| Trustee who is the original user | § 33-27.1-11: the custodian discloses what the trust's account holds | Same section |
| Trustee who is not the original user | § 33-27.1-12: a certified trust instrument that includes consent to disclosure of content | § 33-27.1-13: a certified copy of the trust instrument |
| Guardian or conservator | No section in the chapter releases it | § 33-27.1-14: after a hearing under chapter 33-15, on a certified court order and a court finding |
The Custodian Picks The Form Of Access
You do not pick. Section 33-27.1-6(a) leaves it to the custodian's sole discretion to grant full access to the account, grant partial access sufficient to perform the tasks the fiduciary is charged with, or hand over a copy in a record of any digital asset the user could have reached on the date the request arrived.
Three more rules in that section shape what shows up:
- The custodian may assess a reasonable administrative charge for the cost of disclosing.
- The custodian never has to produce a digital asset the user deleted.
- Where segregating a partial request would impose an undue burden, either side may ask the court for an order. The court may order a subset limited by date, everything, nothing, or production to the court for review in camera.
Section 33-27.1-5 draws the outer line. The chapter hands a fiduciary or designated recipient no rights beyond the ones the user held, and it leaves the custodian's and the user's own terms-of-service rights alone.
Sixty Days, Then You Ask A Court
Section 33-27.1-16(a) gives the custodian sixty days from receipt of the required information to disclose the digital assets or terminate the account. Miss it, and the fiduciary or designated recipient applies to the court for an order directing compliance. Subsection (b) requires that order to contain a finding that compliance does not violate 18 U.S.C. § 2702 et seq., the federal rule that keeps a provider from releasing message content without lawful consent.
Four more subsections change how you write the request:
- The custodian shall notify the user, wherever practicable, that someone asked for disclosure or termination.
- The custodian may deny the request where it learns of any lawful access to the account after the fiduciary's request arrived.
- The custodian may still insist on a court order naming the account as the protected person's or principal's, confirming consent, and carrying a finding required by law other than this chapter.
- A custodian and its officers, employees and agents are immune from liability for anything done in good faith under the chapter, which is why a written request that tracks the statute moves faster than a phone call.
"Court" is generous here. Section 33-27.1-2(7) defines it as a court of competent jurisdiction, including the probate court and the superior court. Rhode Island runs probate in each of its thirty-nine cities and towns, and § 8-9-9 fixes each court's jurisdiction in the town or city in which it is established. So the court that signs your finding is the one where the estate is already open. Find yours in the Rhode Island probate court directory.
A Rhode Island Power Of Attorney Needs Two Sets Of Words
Rhode Island stacks two drafting requirements that other states handle in one clause.
Durability comes first. Section 34-22-6.1 keeps an agent's authority alive through the principal's incompetency only where the writing contains "This power of attorney shall not be affected by the incompetency of the donor", or "This power of attorney shall become effective upon the incompetency of the donor", or similar words showing that intent. Leave those words out and the document dies exactly when the family needs it.
Digital authority comes second, and it lives in this chapter rather than in the power of attorney chapters. Section 33-27.1-9 makes a custodian disclose the content of electronic communications to an agent only to the extent the power of attorney expressly grants authority over that content, and then only on a written request, an original or copy of the document carrying that grant, a certification by the agent under penalty of perjury that the document is in effect, the account identifier and evidence linking the account to the principal. Section 33-27.1-10 sets a lower bar for the catalogue and other digital assets: specific authority over digital assets, or general authority to act, on the same five items of proof.
Now read the statutory short form. Section 18-16-2 prints ten lettered subdivisions, (A) through (J), covering real estate, goods, securities, banking, business, insurance, claims, military benefits, records and all other matters. Not one of them mentions electronic communications or digital assets. A plain short form grants neither the content nor the catalogue in terms. Write the authority in, and give your agent express digital authority in the same document that carries the durability wording.
Trustees Split Across Three Sections
Which section applies turns on one question: did the trustee open the account?
Section 33-27.1-11 covers a trustee who is the original user. Unless the court orders otherwise or the trust says otherwise, the custodian discloses any digital asset of the account held in trust, including the catalogue and the content. No paperwork list attaches, because the trustee is the account holder.
Section 33-27.1-12 covers content where the trustee is not the original user, and it wants consent inside the document. The trustee gives the custodian a written request, a certified copy of the trust instrument that includes consent to disclosure of the content of electronic communications to the trustee, an affidavit or memorandum under penalty of perjury pursuant to § 34-4-27 that the trust exists and the trustee is currently acting, the account identifier and evidence linking the account to the trust.
Section 33-27.1-13 covers the catalogue and other digital assets on the same list, minus the consent language. A certified copy of the trust instrument is enough.
So the consent clause has to sit in the trust instrument itself rather than in a side letter, and the § 34-4-27 affidavit is the same instrument Rhode Island uses to record trust ownership of real estate. Draft both when the trust is written, and fold the account inventory into ordinary Rhode Island trust administration work.
Guardians And Conservators Reach The Catalogue, Never The Content
Section 33-27.1-14 handles a living person under a chapter 33-15 case, and it is narrower than the deceased-user route.
Subsection (a) lets the court grant a guardian or conservator access to a protected person's digital assets after an opportunity for a hearing. Subsection (b) then makes the custodian disclose the catalogue of electronic communications and any digital assets other than content, on a written request, a certified copy of the court order giving that authority, the account identifier, evidence linking the account to the protected person, and a finding by the court that disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of the guardian's or conservator's duties.
Nothing in the chapter releases the content of a protected person's messages to a guardian or conservator. Subsection (c) adds one more power: a guardian or conservator with general authority over the protected person's assets may ask a custodian to suspend or terminate an account for good cause, on a certified copy of the order. Rhode Island's vocabulary here is its own, so read Rhode Island guardianship planning before you file anything.
Do Not Just Log In With The Password
Families do this constantly. Someone finds the sticky note, keeps the account running and pays bills from it for months.
Section 11-52-3 makes it a felony to intentionally, without authorization, and for fraudulent or other illegal purposes access, alter, damage or destroy a computer, a computer system, a network, software, a program or the data inside any of them. Section 11-52-5 prices a felony under that chapter at a fine up to $5,000, up to five years, or both. Provider terms usually prohibit the login as well, and a closed account can take the photos and the balance with it.
The chapter hands you the clean route. Section 33-27.1-15(d) makes a fiduciary acting within the scope of the fiduciary's duties an authorized user of the decedent's, protected person's, principal's or settlor's property for computer fraud and unauthorized computer access laws, naming chapter 11-52 outright. That protection follows the appointment and the duty. It does not follow a password found in a drawer.
The same section carries the duties. Care, loyalty and confidentiality apply to digital assets the way they apply to a house. The authority stays inside the scope of the fiduciary's job and inside copyright law. And one act is barred outright: a fiduciary may not use the access to impersonate the user.
What A Rhode Island Fiduciary Does First
- Get appointed. Nothing moves without letters. Start with the Rhode Island probate guide, then work through the executor's other duties.
- Order certified copies. Each custodian wants its own certified death certificate and its own certified letter of appointment.
- Check the online tools before you write anything. A Google Inactive Account Manager plan or an Apple legacy designation can settle in days what a letter will not settle in months.
- Read the will and trust for consent language. Where the document consents to disclosure of the content of electronic communications, quote that clause in the request.
- Ask the probate court for the § 33-27.1-7 or § 33-27.1-8 finding. Rhode Island lists it as a required item, so build it into the petition schedule rather than waiting for a provider to ask.
- Send a written request that tracks the statute. Name the section, list the documents you enclose, and give the account identifier. Ask for the catalogue under § 33-27.1-8 where you do not need message content.
- Diary the sixty days. Calendar the date the custodian received your package and treat § 33-27.1-16 as your follow-up schedule.
- Inventory what you find. Section 33-9-1 has every executor and administrator return a sworn inventory of personal property, tangible and intangible, within ninety days after appointment or a longer period the probate court allows, appraised as of the date of death. Digital holdings belong on it with everything else.
Crypto And Anything No Custodian Holds
Section 33-27.1-15(c) gives a fiduciary with authority over the property of a decedent, protected person, principal or settlor the right to access any digital asset that person had a right or interest in and that no custodian holds and no terms-of-service agreement governs. Subsection (e) adds the right to access tangible personal property and any digital asset stored in it, which covers the laptop, the phone and the hardware wallet in the desk drawer.
Statutory authority does not reproduce a lost seed phrase. Handle that while the owner is alive.
- Write down every wallet address, exchange account and storage type, with a rough value.
- Keep seed phrases and private keys offline in a fireproof safe or a bank box, never in a phone note.
- Say in the will or trust that the fiduciary may hold, transfer and sell cryptocurrency.
- Expect an exchange to run its own deceased-account process asking for a death certificate, the letter of appointment and identification. Plan on weeks.
Build A List Your Fiduciary Can Actually Use
Written authority without an account list leaves your fiduciary guessing.
- Walk your phone, your inbox, your bank statements and your password manager, and record each platform, the login email, what the account holds and a rough value.
- Note where the credentials live, the two-factor method, the recovery email and the recovery phone. Keep the credentials themselves out of the list.
- Store the list where it survives you, in a password manager your fiduciary can reach or a sealed envelope in a home safe, and point to the location from the will or trust instead of copying the contents into it.
- Review it once a year, and tell the person who will need it that it exists.
Write The Authority Into Your Documents
Four things have to agree, and one of them lives at the provider.
- The online tool. It beats the documents under § 33-27.1-4(a), so set it and record who you named.
- The will. Say the personal representative may access, manage, transfer and close online accounts, and add a sentence consenting to disclosure of the content of your electronic communications. Never write passwords into a Rhode Island will, because the court file is public.
- The power of attorney. Carry the § 34-22-6.1 durability wording and the § 33-27.1-9 express grant over content. A general grant reaches the catalogue and stops there.
- The trust. Section 33-27.1-12 wants consent to disclosure of content inside the trust instrument before a successor trustee sees a message, so put it in the document.
Draft them together rather than one at a time. Digital authority in the will and silence in the power of attorney leaves a hole for exactly the stretch when someone is incapacitated rather than dead. A funded trust is also one of the routes Rhode Islanders use to keep property out of probate court.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Rhode Island have a digital assets law?
Yes. P.L. 2019, ch. 200 and ch. 262 created the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act at R.I. Gen. Laws chapter 33-27.1, and § 33-27.1-3 keys the chapter to July 15, 2019. The older chapter 33-27, the Access to Decedents' Electronic Mail Accounts Act, is repealed in full, so cite chapter 33-27.1 and never chapter 33-27.
Does a Rhode Island executor need a court order to read the decedent's email?
Rhode Island asks for a court finding either way. R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-27.1-7 lists a finding by the court that disclosure of the content is reasonably necessary for the administration of the estate as its own required item, not as something the custodian has to demand first. Section 33-27.1-8 repeats that requirement for the catalogue and other digital assets. Ask the probate court of the city or town where the estate is open before you write to the provider.
Does an online tool really override my Rhode Island will?
Yes, when the tool lets you change the setting later. R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-27.1-4(a) says a direction given through the custodian's online tool overrides a contrary direction in a will, trust, power of attorney or other record, so long as the tool allows the user to modify or delete that direction at all times. If you never used a tool, subsection (b) puts the decision back into your documents.
How long does a custodian have to respond in Rhode Island?
Sixty days. R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-27.1-16(a) requires a custodian to comply with a request to disclose digital assets or terminate an account within sixty days after it receives the required information. If the custodian does not, the fiduciary applies to the court for an order directing compliance, and subsection (b) requires that order to find that compliance does not violate 18 U.S.C. § 2702 et seq.
Does a Rhode Island power of attorney cover digital assets automatically?
No. R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-27.1-9 releases the content of electronic communications to an agent only to the extent the power of attorney expressly grants authority over that content, and § 33-27.1-10 releases the catalogue to an agent with specific digital-asset authority or general authority to act. None of the ten lettered subdivisions in the § 18-16-2 short form mentions electronic communications, so a plain short form grants neither in terms.
Is it illegal to log into my late spouse's account in Rhode Island?
It can be. R.I. Gen. Laws § 11-52-3 makes it a felony to access a computer or its data intentionally, without authorization, and for fraudulent or other illegal purposes, and § 11-52-5 sets the felony penalty at up to $5,000, up to five years, or both. Section 33-27.1-15(d) protects a fiduciary acting within the scope of the fiduciary's duties, which is why appointment first and password later is the safe order.
