Funny Expungement Laws

Getting to know the expungement laws of all 50 states means getting to know some odd requirements to have a record expunged.

Among the more interesting situations where a person becomes eligible for expungement include:

One way to become eligible for expungement in Pennsylvania is to be dead for at least 3 years. So, when planning your estate, make sure to create a trust or testimentary gift contingent on one of your heirs expunging your record 3 years after you assume room temperature. You don't want to have trouble finding a job in the afterlife.

If want to guarantee that your records get expunged in Arizona, make sure you are taking your vitamins and getting lots of exercise. If 99 years pass from the time you were convicted, you are entitled to have your conviction expunged in Arizona. Of course, that is just one way to do it. But it is in the law.

More soon. Thank you for reading about funny expungement laws.
