[WSBAPT] iPhone/iCloud access

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

I have successfully utilized the Uniform Access to Digital Assets Act,
gotten an order through Ex Parte and submitted to Apple.

Practice tip - take screen shot showing successful upload, then call them
immediately after the 45 day period and then hound them until they do it.
It took my estate 9 months to get the passwords reset. Though the law says
SHALL RESPOND, there are no teeth to the statute and so it gets put to the
bottom of the list for Apple to compy with the order.
