person has a right or interest if the conservator or guardian gives the
custodian:

   1. A written request for disclosure in physical or electronic form;

   2. A certified copy of the court order that gives the conservator or guardian
   authority over the digital assets of the protected person; and

   3. If requested by the custodian:

   identifier assigned by the custodian to identify the account of the protected
   person; or

person or a guardian with specific authority granted by the court may request a
custodian of the digital assets of the protected person to suspend or terminate
an account of the protected person for good cause. A request made under this
section shall be accompanied by a certified copy of the court order giving the
conservator or guardian authority over the protected person&#8217;s property.
