30.1-04-09. (2-114) Parent barred from inheriting in certain circumstances
1. A parent is barred from inheriting from or through a child of the parent if the parent's
parental rights were terminated and the parent-child relationship was not judicially
re-established or the child died before reaching eighteen years of age and there is
clear and convincing evidence that immediately before the child's death the parental
rights of the child's parent could have been terminated under other law of this state on
the basis of nonsupport, abandonment, abuse, or neglect, or other actions or inactions
of the parent toward the child.
2. For purposes of intestate succession from or through the deceased child, a parent who
is barred from inheriting under this section is treated as if the parent predeceased the
child.
