Effects of Bill:
This bill being passed means that:
If an heir dies less than 30 days after their benefactor passes away, they do not inherit anything unless they are the sole heir and the estate would otherwise pass to the crown;
Husbands are no longer responsible for their widows prenuptial debts and their estate will now be divided among their surviving family without respect to this.
