This bill amends section 30-24,125 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to modify the requirements for collecting personal property from a decedent's estate using an affidavit. Notably, it introduces provisions allowing for the use of an abstract of death in cases where there is a delay in obtaining a certified death certificate. The bill outlines the necessary components of the affidavit, including the value of the estate, the relationship of the claiming successor to the decedent, and the affirmation of the truthfulness of the statements made within the affidavit.

Additionally, the bill specifies that a transfer agent must change the registered ownership of securities upon the presentation of the affidavit, and it allows successors to endorse or negotiate instruments payable to the decedent. For motor vehicles and similar titles, the bill requires an affidavit to be submitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles, but it also provides a waiver for this requirement after ten years if evidence of the estate's closure is presented. The original section 30-24,125 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
