Strengthens probate administration by modifying publication requirements and estate applicability.
The Strengthening Probate Administration Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 modifies probate administration in the District of Columbia.

This change applies to estates of decedents who died on or after March 21, 2025. The act also repeals a section related to the publication of wills. It takes effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period, and it expires 225 days after taking effect.
