Survival required

Known as the Nonprobate Transfers Law

The act spans §§ 461–461 (34 sections).

Effective: 28 Aug 1995; (L. 1989 H.B. 145 § 31, A.L. 1995 S.B. 116)

1. An individual who is a beneficiary of a nonprobate transfer shall not be entitled to a transfer unless the individual survives the owner by one hundred twenty hours.

2. If an owner provides and the transferring entity accepts, or if a governing instrument or applicable law provides, a period of survival different than one hundred twenty hours, the period designated shall determine the survival requirement of beneficiaries under this section. An owner and transferring entity may agree that certain circumstances raise a different presumption of survival or nonsurvival.
