“and a large life insurance policy on his late wife.”
Whether it is still true or not I do not know but it used to be that insurance policies didn’t pay off for suicide.
Even if the husband did it he still would not collect a dime.
I could be very, very wrong. I realize that women do horrible things as well. But, this case just sounds “weird” to me. I guess time will tell....
Most insurance companies have a time limit on the suicide thing. If you buy the insurance and then don't commit suicide over a specified length of time then you are free and clear on the suicide thing. Example: Most policies have a one or two year limit on suicide, if you commit suicide after that, they pay off anyway.
