Pedro Haces Lago, a local deputy for Morena in Mexico City, proposed a reform to the local Civil Code during a session of the City Congress. ^[1] The proposed legislation seeks to establish a Registry of Abandonment of Elderly Persons in Mexico City, which would disqualify registered individuals from inheriting assets. ^[2] Pedro Haces stated that current laws allow family members who neglected seniors in life to reap their wealth after death, describing this as an injustice. ^[3] The legislator argued that the current legal framework creates a situation where those who did not care for seniors in life can claim their inheritance after death. ^[4] The legislative initiative presented to the full plenary of the Congress of Mexico City proposes creating a Registry of Abandonment of Elderly People. ^[5] The proposed law intends to include the act of abandoning parents as a legal cause for being excluded from inheritance rights. ^[6] The reform proposes modifying Articles 1316, 323 Decies, and 323 Undecies of the Civil Code to require a judge to order the inscription into the registry after verifying abandonment. ^[7]
