Attorney General Opinions

Because of operation of renunciation of succession pursuant to Uniform Probate Code, beneficiary, deceased parent, was deemed to have predeceased member; thus, only remaining beneficiary was remaining parent, and employees’ retirement system may pay member’s benefits to sole remaining beneficiary. Att. Gen. Op. 97-3.
