Bill summary

Identical to S 846, filed 5/21/12.

Amends GS 28A-2A-1 (concerning probate of will) to delete limitations on the validity of a will, and retains language stating the executor may admit a will for probate. Deletes all provisions of GS 31-39 (probate necessary to pass title; recordation in county where land lies; rights of innocent purchasers) and provides that a duly probated will is effective to pass title to real and personal property. Details circumstances when a will does or does not pass title to property as against lien creditors or purchasers for valuable consideration. Makes conforming changes.
