House Sponsors: HOLBROOK-JOHNSON,TOM-HOFFMAN. Short description: PROBATE-ILLEGITIMATE-PARENT Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Probate Act of 1975. Provides that a parent may not inherit from an illegitimate decedent unless the parent, during the decedent's lifetime, acknowledged the decedent as the parent's child, established a parental relationship with the decedent, and supported the decedent as the parent's child. Notwithstanding the preceding, a parent may not inherit from an illegitimate decedent if the parent abandoned the decedent and that abandonment continued until the decedent's death. (Now, the mother and her descendants, but not the father and his descendants, may inherit from an illegitimate decedent.)
