NY A10881

Adds new section 4-1.7 to the Estates, Powers and Trusts Law to prohibit caregivers convicted of crimes involving elder abuse from receiving any distributive share in the estate of the abused elderly person.

Defines "vulnerable elderly person" as someone age 60 or older suffering from a disease or infirmity associated with advanced age that prevents them from adequately providing for their own health or personal care.

Defines "caregiver" as a person who voluntarily assumes responsibility for an elderly person's care, is under court order to do so, or receives monetary or valuable consideration for providing such care.

Specifies that elder abuse includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, active neglect, passive neglect, and financial exploitation, with detailed definitions for each category.

Becomes effective 180 days after the bill becomes law.
