This bill relates to probate proceedings. The bill allows a fiduciary to present a written request to any person for the purpose of obtaining information about the property owned by the decedent or protected person that has passed or will pass by beneficiary designation or joint tenancy ownership. The written request needs to be dated and affirmed under penalty of perjury to be true and correct. Under current law, a certified copy of a will is provided to the executor by the clerk of court upon the will being admitted into probate.
