The bill establishes a new legal framework for the filing of wills in Montgomery County, Alabama. It allows any resident who has created a will to file it with the Office of the Judge of Probate. The judge is required to maintain a confidential docket that records the will's registration date and withdrawal date, with access restricted to the individual who filed the will, their legal representative, or attorney until the individual's death. The public will have access to the docket, but not to the actual files of the wills.

Additionally, the bill permits the judge of probate to charge a reasonable fee for the filing of wills. It clarifies that the act does not prevent individuals from revoking their wills through subsequent wills and affirms the ambulatory nature of wills. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage. The new legal language includes the insertion of provisions regarding the filing process and confidentiality, while no deletions from current law are specified.
