What’s in it

This bill relates to requirements regarding wills. To be valid, all wills and codicils must be in writing and signed in the presence of two witnesses, whether the will is formally executed or self-proved. The bill provides that “presence” means any manner, physical or electronic, in which the witnesses and testator can see and hear the acts of each other in real time. Under current law, when a will has been certified and admitted to probate, the clerk must provide a certified copy of the will to the executor. The bill provides that the clerk must provide a certified copy of the will only upon the executor’s request.

Changed since by amendments S-5133, S-5132; see Amendments.
