BILL NUMBER:S6641 REVISED 05/21/12 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the surrogate's court procedure act, in relation to clarifying that all property required to be set off shall be included in the value of a small estate PURPOSE OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to clarify that all of the items to be set off for the benefit of the family under Estates Powers and Trusts Laws (the "EPTL") section 5-3. I are also included in the calculation of a small estate pursuant to Surrogate's Court Procedure Act (the SCPA) section 1301.1. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF BILL: This bill removes the references to subparagraphs "(1), (2), (3), (4) and (5)" of EPTL 5-3.1(a) and just refers to EPTL 5-3.1(a) to determine assets to be included along with personal property having a value of $30,000 or less, in defining the contents of a small estate. JUSTIFICATION: Section 5-3.1 of the EPTL provides that, when a person dies leaving a surviving spouse or children under 21, certain property belonging to such decedent must be exempted from his or her estate assets and, instead, vest in and be set off to the surviving spouse or, if there be none, to his or her children under 21.
