Revised Uniform Simultaneous Death Act Flashcards
1
Q
What is the revised uniform simultaneous death act?
A
It says where a person dies where there is insufficient evidence to prove that such a person is to have survived the other by 120 hours, the property of that person is distributed though he or she predeceased the other person.

Q
So what would this mean for joint property?
A
Because it passes as though each co-owener surveyed the other, it theoretically severs the right of survivorship in cases of jointly held property.
