S 9767: Increases the value of a motor vehicle exempt from the provisions of a will or intestate distribution for the benefit of the family of a decedent

This bill increases the monetary limit for a motor vehicle that can be exempt from a deceased person's will or estate distribution to fifty thousand dollars, up from the previous twenty-five thousand.
