Wills and Decedents' Estates

P Passed

P HB394

Wills. Provides that an emancipated minor is competent to make a will. Currently, § 6.1-334 provides that one of the effects of an order emancipating a minor is to allow that minor to execute a will. This change will correct the conflict between the two sections.
