2017 House Bill 4822 ↩

Senate Roll Call 23: Passed

To require a court to review the propriety of persons hired by a state or county public administrator acting as a personal representative of a decedent's estate that includes real estate, and revise notice requirements if estate property is subject to foreclosure for unpaid mortgage debt or property taxes. (Public administrators are lawyers appointed by the Attorney General and paid from the estates they work on.) Reportedly intended to to combat potential abuse and ensure that public administrators are working for the benefit of heirs and not for themselves, this and House Bill 4821 prescribe or revise procedures, timetables, notification and disclosure requirements for these estates.
