Prohibits an individual convicted of a crime involving elder abuse from inheriting from the elder's estate as a distributee

This bill (A 3328) prohibits caregivers convicted of elder abuse from inheriting from the estate of the vulnerable elderly person they abused. It directly affects individuals convicted of physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or neglectful abuse (defined as elder abuse) against a vulnerable elderly person (aged 60+ with health-related care needs). The law disqualifies such caregivers from receiving any inheritance share under intestacy or other distribution rules. Key provisions clarify terms like "caregiver" (voluntary or paid) and define elder abuse to include financial exploitation, emotional harm, or physical neglect. The bill is currently pending in the Judiciary committee.
