| Bill | PROBATE-FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION | Amends the Probate Act of 1975. Provides that provisions barring certain persons from receiving any property, benefit, or other interest by reason of the death of an elderly person or person with a disability apply also to persons who have been found liable for financial exploitation, abuse, or neglect of an elderly person or a person with a disability by a preponderance of evidence in a civil proceeding. Provides that a civil action against a person for financial exploitation, abuse, or neglect of an elderly person or a person with a disability may be brought after the death of the victim or during the lifetime of the victim if the victim is adjudicated disabled. Provides that the court may, in its discretion, consider such facts and circumstances as it deems appropriate to allow the person found liable for financial exploitation, abuse, or neglect of an elderly person or a person with a disability to receive a reduction in interest or benefit rather than no interest or benefit. | us/states/il | Illinois General Assembly | 98th | SB 2955 | Illinois SB 2955 (98th) |
