§ 2137.05.

(A) When disclosing digital assets of a user under this chapter, the custodian may, at

its sole discretion, do any of the following: (1) Grant a fiduciary or designated recipient full access to the user's account; (2) 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; (3) Provide a fiduciary or designated recipient a copy in a record of any digital asset

that, on the date the custodian received the request for disclosure, the user could

have accessed if the user were alive and had full capacity and access to the account. (B) A custodian may assess a reasonable administrative charge for the cost of disclosing

digital assets under this chapter. (C) A custodian is not required to disclose under this chapter a digital asset deleted

by a user. (D) If a user directs or a fiduciary requests a custodian to disclose under this chapter

some, but not all, of the users digital assets, the custodian is not required to disclose

the assets if segregation of the assets would impose an undue burden on the custodian.  If the custodian believes the direction or request imposes an undue burden, the

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.
