E. The Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act does not limit a custodian's ability to obtain or require a fiduciary or designated recipient requesting disclosure or termination under the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act to obtain a court order that:
(1) specifies that an account belongs to the protected person or principal;
(2) specifies that there is sufficient consent from the protected person or principal to support the requested disclosure; and
