AI Summary

  • Authorizes manufactured home owners to designate one or more beneficiaries to receive the home upon the owner's death through a beneficiary designation filed with the statement of ownership, applying only to homes classified as personal property

  • Establishes that beneficiary designations are revocable, nontestamentary instruments that can be changed at any time without beneficiary consent and cannot be revoked or superseded by a will

  • Requires joint owners with right of survivorship to make beneficiary designations together, with the designation only taking effect upon the death of the last surviving joint owner

  • Mandates beneficiaries submit an application for statement of ownership and proof of death within 365 days of the owner's death; failure to do so voids the beneficiary designation

  • Specifies that designated beneficiaries receive the manufactured home subject to all existing encumbrances, liens, and other interests, and that the transfer does not affect creditors' collection rights
