FOR the purpose of increasing the gross value of an estate that
may be administered under the small estates laws at which a
small estate administration proceeding is authorized after
the institution of administrative probate proceedings or
judicial probate proceedings altering certain provisions of
law relating to small estates to make consistent the maximum
gross value of an estate that may be administered as a small
estate.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Estates and Trusts
Section 5-601(b) and 5-605
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1974 Volume and 1982 Supplement)

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Lews of Maryland read as follows:
Article - Estates and Trusts
5-601.
(b) If, before the filing of an initial account in
administration proceedings instituted under Subtitle 3 or
Subtitle 4 of this title, the property of the decedent subject to
administration in Maryland is established to have a gross value
of [$7,500] $10,000 or less as of the date of the death of the
decedent, the estate thereafter may be administered in accordance
with the provisions of §§ 5-602 through 5-607.
5-605.
Property of the decedent discovered after the filing of the
petition shall be reported immediately by supplemental petition.
If no administration was had in accordance with § 5-603 (a)(4)
because of the failure to include after-discovered property in
the original petition, the register shall direct appropriate
proceedings. If after-discovered property increases the gross
value of all property of the decedent to more than [$7,500]
$10,000, any further proceeding may not be had under this
subtitle, but the administration shall proceed under the other
provisions of the estates of decedents law.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall

Approved May 10, 1983.
