The National Assembly last Thursday approved a bill to improve management of the estates of deceased persons valued at up to $750,000 where no will has been left.
The Deceased Persons Estates’ Administration (Amend-ment) Bill, which was tabled by Attorney General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall, was passed in the absence of the main opposition from the sitting at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
The bill seeks to increase the value of estates for which the registrar may appoint an administrator in the absence of a legal will from the deceased.
