STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
This legislation amends the Idaho Uniform Probate Code to adopt the Uniform Electronic Wills Act that authorizes the use of electronic wills. A will becomes effective when a person passes away. The law needs to protect the interest of that person in disposing of their property in a manner consistent with their expressed intent. The concept of authorizing the use of electronic wills follows the trend of creating documents electronically.
