Description
Intestate succession; desertion by parents. Provides 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 had openly treated the child as his kin and such treatment continued until the death of the child. The bill also provides 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. Read the Bill »

Comments
what is the "intention" here?
DNA says who the mommy is and who the daddy is.
You may not "like" that a child is deserted or abandoned by it's natural parents - but if that occurs - the legal guardian should petition for termination of parental rights - forever severing the ability of the biological creators of the child to attach...what about the "dads" who find out 18 years later that a child was fathered without their knowledge? Too Socialist for me...
