S.B. 498

VETOES

May 24, 1995

The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 498.

This bill requires that the personal representative of an estate give 20 days', rather than
15 days', written notice of resignation to interested parties before filing the resignation
with the register of wills.

House Bill 542, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 18,
1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 498.

Sincerely,                                                                     

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

Senate Bill No. 498

resignation with the register of wills; altering the time period after which a personal
representative may apply to the court for appointment of a successor under certain
circumstances; and generally relating to the notice of resignation of the personal
representative.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Estates and Trusts
