220.0000 CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

Annotation 220.0140

220.0140 Date of Death. When a person is missing for seven years, the law presumes he/she is deceased (Evidence Code section 667). The law also presumes that life continues throughout the seven year period. Evidence that death occurred at some other time may be used to overcome this latter presumption and thus establish a more likely date of death and the date to use for change in ownership purposes.
