I am not sure that the proposal is all that open ended, as it states that"““the owner is entitled to possession only in his capacity as the personal representative””."
If a deceased person’s personal representative becomes the owner of a property when the estate is wound up, his status under the amendment would change. It is grossly unfair for the state to impose a tax on a person merely because of probate delays caused by the same state.
