REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 636.

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the term
"individual" is substituted for the former term "person" because only a
human being, and not the other types of entities included in the definition
of "person", can be imprisoned or executed. See § 1-101 of this article for
the definition of "person".

Also in the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the
reference to an individual who is sentenced to "imprisonment" is
substituted for the former reference to an individual who is sentenced to
"confinement" for consistency throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.

Also in the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the
former reference to "[t]he real and personal" estate is deleted as implicit in
the reference to an "estate". Similarly, the former reference to a "convicted"
