For those of you that just don’t get the legal ramifications of this...here is one example of Murder/suicide and the estate.

Btw, here is a even more interesting legal entanglement that could happen.

What about life insurance when the mother is killed first by a suicided spouse?

Does the life insurance now go through the husband and his heirs if different than the mother’s will.

Example

1 million life insurance policy.

X kills Z. Does X get the life insurance policy as beneficiary because he lived longer than Z and now it goes to X’s heirs.

I am sure there is something on the books for this one.
