California Probate Code Statutory History

California Probate Code Statutory History

Probate Code: The current Probate Code can be traced to 1850 when the Legislature enacted “An Act to regulate the Settlement of the Estates of Deceased Persons.” In 1872, these provisions were divided between the newly codified Civil Code and Code of Civil Procedure. After more than a century of revisions and former Probate Code enactments, the latest Probate Code was enacted in 1990, following the recommendation of the California Law Revision Commission. Since 1990, the Commission has continued with additional revisions and enactments of new Probate Code statutes.
