§510-24  Perfection of title of surviving
spouse.  If the title to any property to which this part applies was held
by the decedent at the time of death, title of the surviving spouse may be
perfected by an order of the circuit court or by execution of an instrument by
the personal representative or the heirs or devisees of the decedent with the
approval of the circuit court.  Neither the personal representative nor the
court in which the decedent's estate is being administered has a duty to
discover or attempt to discover whether property held by the decedent is
property to which this part applies, unless a written demand is made by the
surviving spouse or the spouse's successor in interest. [L 1973, c 132, pt of
§1]
