Provides that a court may order a convicted felon to serve as a domiciliary personal representative under certain circumstances. Provides that a claim by the estate recovery unit is forever barred unless the estate recovery unit takes certain action against the decedent's estate not later than 120 days after the date of death of the decedent.
