All substantive rights accruing prior to January 1, 1973, under Title 13, Alaska Statutes, prior to its repeal by 78 SLA 1972, remain in full force and effect subsequent to that date.
Probate of any decedent's estate commenced and pending prior to January 1, 1973, may be continued to conclusion under the procedures established under Title 13 as it existed prior to its repeal by 78 SLA 1972 provided the personal representative of the decedent files a notice in writing of this intention with the superior court within 30 days of the promulgation of this rule. If no such notice is filed, the rules of procedure prescribed by the present Title 13, which became effective January 1, 1973, are applicable.
