PUBLIC
BILL SUMMARY For CBA REPORT - AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFORM PROBATE CODE

JOINT COMMITTEE COMMITTEE ON COLORADO COMMISSION ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS
Date Dec 3, 2021      
Location HCR 0112



CBA report - Amendments to the Uniform Probate Code - Remains on the 2022 legislative agenda


01:38:41 PM  

Darla Daniel, co-legislative liaison for the Colorado Bar Association (CBA) Trusts & Estates Section, reported that the section's review is completed and it has provided a summary table of changes to the commission. In summarizing the approved changes, Ms. Daniel stated that the vast majority of them involved modernizing language and making the language gender-neutral. The section recommends deleting the §15-11-103 in the C.R.S., regarding intestate succession hierarchy, and replacing it with the new language from the uniform act and amended §15-11-106 to align with §15-11-103 regarding concepts referenced in the Uniform Parentage Act (UPA), which Colorado has not enacted. Also recommends not adopting the five other sections in the amendments referencing concepts in the UPA for the same reason. Ms. Daniel confirmed that CBA Executive Council has approved and recommended the act, as revised, to move forward. The Commission thanked Ms. Daniel and the trusts & estates section for the time and detailed work and verified that the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) would consider the act, as revised, uniform.

Commissioner McGihon moved that the Amendments to the Uniform Probate Code, as amended, be included on the 2022 legislative agenda. Commissioner Pike seconded and the motion passed without objection. The bill will start in the Senate with Commissioner Gardner as sponsor.
