SECTION 2-510. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. Uniform Probate Code

SECTION 2-510. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. Uniform Probate Code

 A writing in existence when a will is executed may be incorporated by reference if the language of the will manifests this intent and describes the writing sufficiently to permit its identification.
Comment
This section codifies the common-law doctrine of incorporation by reference, except that the sometimes troublesome requirement that the will refer to the document as being in existence when the will was executed has been eliminated.
