SUCCESSIONS: Provides for small succession procedures. (8/1/24)
SB 32 simplifies legal procedures for handling small estates by removing specific legal terminology from the succession code. This change directly affects individuals managing the estates of deceased relatives with limited assets, making the process slightly less formal. The bill does not alter the core rules for distributing property but instead edits the text to delete the word "legal" in two specific instances. These adjustments aim to streamline the language used when determining how small successions are handled.
