Ch. 464

EQUIVALENT TERM IN THE WILL INCLUDES AN ADOPTEE WHETHER THE WILL WAS
EXECUTED BEFORE OR AFTER A COURT ENTERED AN ORDER FOR ADOPTION.
(2) UNLESS A WILL EXECUTED ON OR BEFORE MAY 31, 1947, CLEARLY
INDICATES OTHERWISE, "CHILD", "DESCENDANT", "HEIR", "ISSUE", OR ANY
EQUIVALENT TERM IN THE WILL INCLUDES AN ADOPTEE IF, ON OR AFTER JUNE 1,
1947, A COURT ENTERED AN INTERLOCUTORY ORDER FOR ADOPTION OR, IF NONE, A
FINAL ORDER FOR ADOPTION.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is derived without substantive change from
former FL § 5-308(d), as it related to wills.
Former FL § 5-308(a), which disclaimed any intent to limit distribution by
will, is omitted from this section as the disclaimer seemingly applied only
to other provisions of former FL § 5-308.
The word "order" is substituted for the former, more archaic "decree".
As to other instruments, see new RP § 2-123.
Article - Family Law
1-101.
(B) CHILD IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE.
"CHILD IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL ADJUDICATED AS A
CHILD IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE UNDER TITLE 3, SUBTITLE 8 OF THE COURTS
ARTICLE.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This subsection is new and added to allow concise and
consistent reference to children in need of assistance without repetition of
the cross-reference to the Courts Article provisions.
(C) CINA CASE.
"CINA CASE" MEANS A CASE UNDER TITLE 3, SUBTITLE 8 OF THE COURTS
ARTICLE.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This subsection is new and added to allow concise and
consistent reference to cases involving adjudication of children in need of
assistance without repetition of the cross-reference to the Courts Article
provisions.
(F) JUVENILE COURT.
"JUVENILE COURT" MEANS THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR A COUNTY SITTING AS A
JUVENILE COURT.
COMMITTEE NOTE: This subsection is new and added to allow concise
reference to juvenile courts. Accordingly, former FL § 5-701(f), which
defined "court" solely for purposes of FL Title 5, Subtitle 7, and former FL
§ 5-1201(d), which incorporated the § 5-701(f) definition, are deleted as
unnecessary.
