The Strengthening Probate Administration Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends Chapter 3 of Title 20 of the District of Columbia Official Code to enhance the probate process. Key changes include a revised definition of abbreviated probate, which now allows the Register of Wills to refer cases to the Court for the appointment of personal representatives and the admission of wills to probate. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the appointment of a personal representative will not be delayed while awaiting the Court's decision on whether the administration will be supervised or unsupervised. The bill also repeals a specific section related to the probate process.

Furthermore, the bill amends the Strengthening Probate Administration Amendment Act of 2024 to specify that it applies to estates of decedents who died on or after March 21, 2025. This amendment aims to streamline the probate process and ensure clarity regarding the applicability of the law to future estates. The act will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period, and it is set to expire after 225 days.
