Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 723 amends the Probate Code to delete the requirement that the social security number of the applicant and the decedent be included as part of the application for probate of a will. The bill replaces the terms "executor" and "administrator" with "personal representative" to broaden who is authorized to administer the community property of a decedent's estate. The bill limits lawsuits in response to the rejection of a claim to the court of original probate jurisdiction in which the estate is pending.
