Presumption of Death Act 2013

A vote to support means

• —Supporting this Act means helping people whose loved ones have gone missing get legal closure. It allows courts to declare someone officially dead after a certain time period, so families can sort out their finances, inheritance, and move forward with their lives without waiting indefinitely.

A vote to oppose means

• —Critics worry the Act might be used unfairly - for example, someone could declare a missing person dead too quickly to gain access to their money or property. There's also concern that it doesn't give enough time or effort to actually finding the missing person before declaring them legally dead.
