Bill summary
This proposed law in Pennsylvania would make it easier to leave your home to a loved one after you pass away. Currently, if you want to leave your house to someone, it often has to go through a long and expensive court process called "probate." This bill would allow you to sign a simple form that automatically transfers the home to the person you choose once you die, skipping the court process entirely. The bill is currently being debated in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
