Application, when--effect on pending proceedings and rights.

472.005. This act* shall apply to the estates of persons whose deaths

occur on or after January 1, 1981. The procedures herein prescribed shall

govern all proceedings in probate then pending, except to the extent that, in

the opinion of the court, their application in particular proceedings or parts

thereof would not be feasible or would work injustice, in which event the

former procedure shall apply. No act done in any proceeding commenced before

January 1, 1981, and no accrued right shall be impaired by its provisions.

When a right is acquired, extinguished or barred upon the expiration of a

prescribed period of time which has commenced to run by the provision of any

statute in force before this act* takes effect, such provision shall remain in

force and be deemed a part of the probate code with respect to such right

except as otherwise provided therein.
