MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 89

NOTICE IS NOT GIVEN, FROM THE DATE THE BENEFICIARY
LAST HEARD ABOUT THE INSURED. THE NOTICE SHALL BE
GIVEN WITHIN ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE THE BENEFICIARY
LAST HEARD ABOUT THE ABSENT INSURED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 16, §201. Provisions of
the section are placed into three
subsections instead of two. This is done
to emphasize the difference between the
provisions.

Subsection (a) is former subsection (1).

Provisions of former subsection (2)

constitute subsection (b) and (c),

respectively. In subsections (a) and (b) ,

the phrase "hereafter" is replaced with
"after May 31, 1941", the date when the

statute, including these provisions, was
enacted, for the purpose of clarity.

SEC. 3-104. PROTECTION OF PROPERTY OF ABSENTEE.

PROCEEDINGS FOR THE PROTECTION OF PROPERTY OF AN
ABSENTEE SHALL BE CONDUCTED UNDER ARTICLE 93A.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language.
Sec. 201(b) of Art. 93A, includes in the
definition of a disabled person anyone who
has disappeared. The provisions of Art. 93A
are, to a large extent, inconsistent with
the provisions of the Uniform Absence as
Evidence of Death and Absentees¹ Property
Act, presently set forth in Art. 16, §§ 200
- 212. This uniform act is enacted in only
three states and §§ 202, and 203 are
recommended for repeal because of the more
modern procedures of Art. 93A.

SEC. 3-105. SEARCH FOR ABSENTEE.
(A) METHODS.

UPON APPLICATION, THE COURT MAY DIRECT THE
GUARDIAN TO HAKE SEARCH FOR THE ABSENTEE IN ANY MANNER
THE COURT CONSIDERS ADVISABLE, INCLUDING ONE OR MORE
OF THE FOLLOWING METHODS:

(1) INSERTING IN ONE OR MORE SUITABLE
PERIODICALS A NOTICE REQUESTING INFORMATION FROM ANY
PERSON HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF THE ABSENTEE'S WHEREABOUTS;
