Summary

Existing law provides that the estate of a decedent not effectively disposed of by a will passes to the decedent's heirs as prescribed by law. Existing law prohibits, for a child born out of wedlock, a natural parent or a relative of that parent from inheriting from or through the child on the basis of the parent and child relationship unless the parent or a relative of the parent acknowledged the child and the parent or a relative of the parent contributed to the support or the care of the child. This bill would revise and recast the provisions regarding inheritance of a parent from or through a child on the basis of the parent and child relationship. The bill would provide that a parent does not inherit from or through a child if the parent's parental rights were terminated and the parent-child relationship was not judicially reestablished, the parent did not acknowledge the child, or the parent left the child during the child's minority without an effort to provide for the child's support or without communication from the parent, as specified. The bill would provide that a parent who does not inherit from or through a child, pursuant to the bill's provisions, would be deemed to have predeceased the child and the intestate estate would pass as otherwise required under specified existing law of intestate succession.
