Probate-discovered property publication requirements.
HB 238 sets a maximum fee for newspaper publications required in Wyoming probate cases involving heirship notices. It limits the cost to the lowest display advertising rate charged to counties by local newspapers, whichever is less than standard open rates. This affects counties paying for these notices, newspapers publishing them, and individuals involved in probate proceedings (like heirs, creditors, or devisees). The bill does not change the notice requirements themselves, only the fee structure for publishing them. It became effective July 1, 2023.
