§58-713.
   
   In all proceedings brought for the administration of the estate of any
   person who dies intestate, or for the probate of the will of any
   person who shall die testate, or for the adjudication of the fact of
   the death of any life tenant or joint tenant of real estate, where
   such person shall have been in the military, naval or maritime service
   of the United States at the time of death, the official notice of
   death issued by or received from the United States Government or any
   department thereof, shall be admissible in evidence in such
   proceedings, and shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of death.
   Provided, however, that no decree distributing the estate of such
   deceased person in either administration proceedings or under the
   provisions of any will of such decedent, shall be entered until a
   period of two (2) years shall elapse from the reported death of such
   decedent.
