Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 18-C Sec. 3-302

  • Decedent: A deceased person.
  • Probate: Proving a will
Upon receipt of an application requesting informal probate of a will, the register upon making the findings required by section 3-303 shall issue a written statement of informal probate if at least 120 hours have elapsed since the decedent‘s death. Informal probate is conclusive as to all persons until superseded by an order in a formal testacy proceeding. No defect in the application or procedure that leads to informal probate of a will renders the probate void. [PL 2017, c. 402, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2019, c. 417, Pt. B, §14 (AFF).]
