Summary

Intestate succession; desertion by parents.  Clarifies that if a parent is barred from inheriting from his child through intestate succession because he had willfully deserted or abandoned the child, no person may inherit from the child's estate through intestate succession where the person's only claim on the estate is through the parent who deserted or abandoned the child, unless the person has established a personal relationship with the child and maintained such relationship until the child's death. The bill also clarifies that the prohibition against a parent inheriting from a child applies regardless of whether the child was still a minor at the time of death.
