Printed on recycled paper 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1. 18-A MRSA §3-706, as amended by PL 1979, c. 690, §§8 
and 9, is further amended by adding at the end a new paragraph to 
read: 
If a personal representative fails to file an inventory or 
fails 
to 
include 
in 
the 
inventory property that 
the 
court 
determines should have been included, in determining the value of 
the uninventoried or missing property, the court may rely on the 
opinion of qualified appraisers or owners of similar property who 
have never seen the missing property, and doubt created by the 
absence of such property and its unavailability for purposes of 
appraisal 
must 
be 
resolved 
in 
favor 
of 
responsible 
persons 
estimating the highest reasonable value. 
When there has been no 
inventory filed and interested persons allege 
under 
oath or 
affirmation that property should have been inventoried but is now 
missing, the burden is on the personal representative to show 
that the property should not have been included in the inventory. 
SUMMARY 
This bill provides that, if a personal representative fails 
to include property in an inventory of a decedent's property, the 
Probate Court, in determining the value of that property, may 
rely on the opinion of qualified appraisers or owners of similar 
property. 
The bill specifies that doubt created by the absence 
of the property must be resolved in favor of persons providing 
the estimate of highest reasonable value. 
The bill also places 
the 
burden 
on 
the personal 
representative to 
show that the 
property should not have been included in the inventory.

Undetermined current biennium cost increase - General Fund 
If the committee conducts this review as part of a regularly scheduled committee meeting during the legislative 
session, there will be no costs. If, however, the committee conducts this review during the interim between legislative 
sessions, the additional costs are estimated to be $1,365 per meeting. Since it is unlmown how many times and when 
the committee may have to meet to review proposed acquistions, the exact costs of this legislation can not be 
determined at this time.
