IN RE: | SB1048 by Watson (Relating to the inheritance rights of certain parents.), As Introduced |
The bill would prevent the parent of a child from inheriting through the child under the laws of descent and distribution if the probate court finds by clear and convincing evidence that grounds existed for the involuntary termination of the parent-child relationship, as described by Section 161.001(1) of the Family Code, before the death of the child.
