(3) A custodian may notify the user that a request for disclosure or to terminate an

account was made under this chapter.

(4) A custodian may deny a request under this chapter from a fiduciary or designated

recipient for disclosure of digital assets or to terminate an account, if the custodian

is aware of any lawful access to the account following the receipt of the fiduciary's

request.

(5) This chapter does not limit a custodian's ability to obtain or require a fiduciary or

designated recipient requesting disclosure or termination under this chapter to

obtain a court order which:

(a) Specifies that an account belongs to the protected person or principal;

(b) Specifies that there is sufficient consent from the protected person or principal

to support the requested disclosure; and

(c) Contains a finding required by law other than this chapter.
