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

This bill, S 1015, prohibits an individual convicted of a crime involving elder abuse from inheriting from the estate of the vulnerable elderly person they abused. It defines a "vulnerable elderly person" as someone 60 or older with age-related conditions making them unable to care for themselves, and a "caregiver" as someone responsible for their care. The bill outlines various forms of "elder abuse," including physical, sexual, emotional abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. If a caregiver is convicted of such a crime, they are disqualified from receiving any distributive share of the victim's estate.
