AN ACT relating to inherited property.

Summary

The bill revises inheritance rules so a surviving spouse automatically receives half of the deceased’s remaining real estate and personal property, and a life interest in a portion of other real estate acquired during the marriage. It also limits the life‑interest rule for property the spouse inherited during the marriage unless it was the couple’s primary home. The change updates the definitions of dower and curtesy to reflect these new rights.
