Fiscal Summary NOT SIGNIFICANT Bill Summary Present law authorizes a will executed outside of this state to have the same force and effect as a will executed in this state if it was in compliance with the law of the testator's domicile or the state in which the will was executed. This bill clarifies that such a will is sufficiently proved to be admitted to probate in this state if it is proved that the will could be admitted to probate (i) in the state where it was signed; (ii) under the law of the testator's domicile at the time of its execution; or (iii) is a will containing the signatures of at least two attesting witnesses, a holographic will, or a paper writing written on or before February 15, 1941, that meets certain requirements. RIGHTS OF CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS Present law gives a charitable organization expressly designated to receive distributions under the terms of a charitable trust the same rights as a qualified beneficiary if the charitable organization would be a qualified beneficiary if such charitable organization were an individual beneficiary. A "qualified beneficiary" means a beneficiary who, on the date the beneficiary's qualification is determined, (i) is a distributee or permissible distributee of trust income or principal; (ii) would be a distributee or permissible distrubutee of trust income or principal if the trust terminated on that date; or (iii) would be a distributee or permissible distributee of trust income or principal if the interests of the distributees terminated on that date without causing the trust to terminate. This bill clarifies that a charitable organization that receives the same rights as a qualified beneficiary may receive notice and information about the trust, as prescribed by present law. The charitable organization may also participate in nonjudicial settlement agreements
