Maryland Uniform Simultaneous Death Act establishes rules for property distribution when individuals die simultaneously.

The Maryland Uniform Simultaneous Death Act governs the distribution of property when two individuals die simultaneously and there is insufficient evidence to determine who died first. If one individual does not survive the other by a specified period, they are deemed to have predeceased. The act also outlines procedures for determining death, including the use of death certificates and other evidence. It provides protections for payors and third parties who distribute assets in good faith and establishes rules for the distribution of property held by joint tenants or tenants by the entirety.
