Title 23 - DOMESTIC RELATIONS
Chapter 53 - Custody
5311 - When parent deceased.

     § 5311.  When parent deceased.
        If a parent of an unmarried child is deceased, the parents or
     grandparents of the deceased parent may be granted reasonable
     partial custody or visitation rights, or both, to the unmarried
     child by the court upon a finding that partial custody or
     visitation rights, or both, would be in the best interest of the
     child and would not interfere with the parent-child
     relationship. The court shall consider the amount of personal
     contact between the parents or grandparents of the deceased
     parent and the child prior to the application.
