After just about a year, the US model law has already been enacted in 32 States. Canada proceeds on the basis of the first-year version of Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (UFADAA) while Australia is looking at the Canadian model. Furthermore, the civil law jurisdiction of Quebec has no problems with implementing the Canadian draft. The Study Group is currently working on a comparative overview in order to create a possible model law.The ULC was established in 1892 and is a non-profit American association. It aims to provide US States and jurisdictions with well drafted legislations in order to bring clarity to critical areas of statutory law across jurisdictions.
