53-4-69. Election by beneficiary with claim adverse to will.

The only printed version. Current through: Including Acts of the 2025 Regular Session of the General Assembly.

A beneficiary taking under a will shall allow all the provisions of the will to be executed as far as the beneficiary can. A beneficiary who has a claim adverse to the will shall be required to elect whether to claim under the will or against it. However, the mere fact that the beneficiary is also a creditor shall not necessitate an election.
