Cal. Prob. Code § 258 — EFFECT OF HOMICIDE OR ABUSE OF AN ELDER OR DEPENDENT ADULT is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
A person who feloniously and intentionally kills the decedent is not entitled to bring an action for wrongful death of the decedent or to benefit from the action brought by the decedent’s personal representative. The persons who may bring an action for wrongful death of the decedent and to benefit from the action are determined as if the killer had predeceased the decedent.
