Bill > HB447

This bill authorizes the Judge of Probate in Montgomery County to register wills, allowing residents who have made a will to file it confidentially in the Probate Office. The judge will keep a public docket recording the will's deposit and withdrawal dates, but access to the will itself will be restricted to the person who filed it, their legal representative, or their attorney until after their death. The bill also permits the Judge of Probate to charge a reasonable fee for filing a will and clarifies that this act does not affect an individual's right to revoke a will or alter its ambulatory nature, meaning a will can be changed or canceled by its maker.
