Bill > SB41

This bill amends existing Alabama law to prevent individuals convicted of abusing or financially exploiting an elder, or those who feloniously and intentionally kill a decedent, from inheriting or benefiting from the decedent's estate, including through wills, joint assets, or contractual obligations like life insurance policies; specifically, it clarifies that such convicted individuals will be treated as if they predeceased the decedent, meaning any property or benefits intended for them will instead pass to other heirs or beneficiaries, and it expands the definition of abuse to include convictions for elder abuse and neglect or financial exploitation of an elderly person, requiring these convictions to be recorded in county probate offices.
