Relates to eligibility of a person who is not a lawful permanent resident to be a fiduciary

This bill modifies the Surrogate's Court Procedure Act to prevent the automatic disqualification of individuals who are not lawful permanent residents from serving as fiduciaries. Currently, there is a concern that non-citizens without permanent status might be barred from managing estates or trusts, but this legislation clarifies that such immigration status alone does not make a person ineligible for the role. The change applies immediately to anyone seeking to act as a fiduciary, ensuring that their ability to serve is not hindered solely by their residency classification. By removing this specific barrier, the bill allows a broader range of qualified individuals to manage financial affairs for others under court supervision.
