Senate Bill 1198 amends the Texas Probate Code, effective September 1, 2011, to make substantive and nonsubstantive changes to provisions applicable to decedents' estates, including provisions relating to administration, jurisdiction, and venue. Provisions relating to an extension of time for certain disclaimers with respect to an interest in property passing by reason of the death of a decedent during a specified period are effective June 17, 2011. The bill also amends the Estates Code, effective January 1, 2014, to incorporate in that code the bill's substantive and nonsubstantive provisions amending the Texas Probate Code and to add provisions to the Estates Code that are not in the Texas Probate Code. The Estates Code was enacted by Chapter 680 (H.B. 2502), Acts of the 81st Legislature, Regular Session, 2009, effective January 1, 2014, as part of the state's ongoing statutory revision program and will replace the Texas Probate Code.
