The Uniform Probate Code is a model set of probate laws devised by the American Law Institute to be adopted by various states as they see fit. Most legislatures have adopted the Code, not verbatim, but with some changes here and there that such legislature feels is best.

Many uniform law systems have been created by the ALI including Uniform Commercial Code, Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and others.
