Maddy summaryThis bill prevents individuals convicted of crimes involving elder abuse from inheriting any part of the elder's estate. It specifically targets caregivers who are found guilty of physically, sexually, or emotionally abusing vulnerable seniors, as well as those who neglect them or exploit their finances. The law defines a "vulnerable elderly person" as someone aged sixty or older who cannot care for themselves due to age-related health issues, and it clarifies that abuse includes actions like hitting, isolating, or stealing money. By disqualifying these individuals from receiving an intestate share, the legislation ensures that those who harm the elderly do not benefit financially from their victims.
