Catch Title:
Obsolete
laws-general revisions.

Subject:
General revision of obsolete statutes and
corrections of statutes.

Summary/Major Elements:

This bill is the second of a
multi-year process to "clean-up" statutes which have been ruled
unconstitutional, had sunset dates which have been reached but still appear in
the published statutes, contain incorrect citations or are archaic.

The bill is akin to the
revisor's bill but contains changes to statutes which are more than purely
technical corrections, as noted above.

The bill also amends statutes
which have been interpreted by courts in a manner which makes certain
provisions obsolete, though not necessarily unconstitutional.

Archaic references repealed
or amended by the bill are those which refer to entities (such as justice of
the peace, constable, county courts or state land board) which no longer exist
or have been renamed.

The bill eliminates delayed
effective dates or 'grandfathering' provisions which have been fully
implemented.

The bill also updates
statutory cross references to acts that have had sections added or deleted.

Recovery of escheated or forfeited property; general procedure; proceedings where estate without known heirs; unclaimed payments; disposition of property obtained.

(a)

Whenever any property escheats or is forfeited to the state for its use, the legal title vests in the state from the time of the escheat or forfeiture.
An information

A complaint
may be filed by the county attorney of the proper county or by the attorney general in the name of the state of Wyoming against the person or bank which possesses the escheated or forfeited property, in the district court of the proper county for the recovery of the property, alleging the grounds on which the recovery is claimed, and like proceedings in judgment shall be had as in a civil action for the recovery of property. In any such action due proof that any real or personal property has been unclaimed for five (5) years immediately prior to the time of filing the
information

complaint
and that the name or whereabouts of the owner of the property is unknown is prima facie evidence of the failure of title to the property for want of legal heirs.

(b)

In cases where probate proceedings are commenced upon the estate of any person without known heirs no action under subsection (a) of this section need be brought. The court having jurisdiction of the estate shall enter a decree in the estate, distributing the unclaimed property remaining for distribution in the estate to the state of
Wyoming
. Where probate proceedings have been commenced but have never been completed, the county attorney or attorney general may proceed
by information

as provided by subsection (a) of this section. In any such estate, the failure of any heirs or devisees of the deceased to appear and establish a claim within the time fixed by the notice of final settlement of the estate for filing objections to the final account and petition for distribution is prima facie evidence of the failure of title to the property of the estate for want of legal heirs or devisees.
