A quick definition of Uniform Probate Code:

The Uniform Probate Code (UPC) is a set of rules created by the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) in 1969 to help guide the process of handling someone's property and belongings after they pass away. The UPC covers things like how to handle disputes over the estate, what happens if someone dies without a will, and how to appoint a guardian for someone who can't take care of themselves. Several states in the United States have adopted the UPC as their standard for handling these types of situations.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Probate Code (UPC) is a set of standard rules created by the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) in 1969. The ULC recommends that all states enact these rules to govern estate litigation and administration, intestacy, wills, non-testamentary transfers, and guardianship.

For example, if someone dies without a will, the UPC provides guidelines for how their assets should be distributed among their heirs. Additionally, the UPC outlines the process for appointing a guardian for a minor or incapacitated adult.

Several states have already enacted the UPC, including Idaho, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, New Mexico, Utah, Michigan, Maine, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Hawaii, North Dakota, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
