A: Probate Code Sections 250-259 specifies that people who commit certain criminal acts against a decedent are deemed to have predeceased a decedent. In other words, they are not entitled to inheritance. These code sections need to be carefully read, but at the end of the day, you can count on a responsible executor to invoke these code sections if the glove fits.
