Summary

The bill changes Alabama law so that anyone who murders, abuses, or financially exploits an elder cannot inherit under a will, claim joint‑tenant rights, or receive insurance or bond benefits. It applies to spouses, heirs, joint owners, and named beneficiaries, and treats convictions as conclusive proof of wrongdoing. The measure aims to protect seniors’ assets from those who harm them.
