AN ACT ESTABLISHING A CAUSE OF ACTION FOR TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH AN EXPECTED INHERITANCE.

HB 6156 would create a new legal claim allowing people to sue if someone intentionally interfered with their expected inheritance. It directly affects individuals who reasonably believed they would receive property or assets from a deceased person but were blocked from receiving it by another party's actions. The bill establishes this as a civil cause of action under Chapter 925 of state law, meaning affected individuals could seek monetary damages in court. This policy change specifically enables legal recourse for interference with inheritance expectations, without altering existing inheritance laws or family relationships.
