Estates and Trusts - Interpretation of Wills - Evidence of Intent (Granny's Law)

SB 190 (Granny's Law) allows personal representatives to petition courts to interpret a decedent's will based on the decedent's intent, using evidence like their lifetime actions, particularly for legacies to health providers or charities addressing health equity. It requires legatees receiving such gifts to demonstrate how the legacy was used to address health disparities within 3 years after estate probate. If a will includes specific language authorizing broad estate management, courts must defer to the personal representative's judgment on using the legacy for health equity purposes. The bill applies retroactively to wills probated since October 1, 2021, and takes effect October 1, 2026.
