Summary

Under existing law, when an individual dies intestate, a court is authorized to appoint certain specified persons to act as that individual's personal representative and to administer the individual's estate. Further, existing law prescribes an order of preference for appointment among those persons. Existing law authorizes the court to appoint an administrator who is nominated by a person who is not a United States resident if the nominator would otherwise be entitled to appointment as an administrator of the decedent's estate, after meeting specified conditions. Under existing law, the provisions on administrators who are nominated by a person who is not a United States resident are to be repealed on January 1, 2016. This bill would delete the January 1, 2016 date of repeal, and thereby extend indefinitely the authorization of the court to appoint an administrator who is nominated by a person who is not a United States resident.
