AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 12 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PERSONS QUALIFIED TO RECEIVE LETTERS TESTAMENTARY OR OF ADMINISTRATION.

Summary

The bill amends the state code so that a person convicted of a crime that normally bars them from taking an oath can be appointed as an executor or administrator of an estate if the Register of Wills grants an exception. The Register must find "good cause" and may require the petitioner to retain a qualified attorney for the estate's duration. Minors and mentally incapacitated individuals remain ineligible.
