Episode 28: Murder is not an estate planning strategy
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the forfeiture rule in the context of a manslaughter case affecting inheritance rights.
This is a lighhearted conversation about a serious topic. We are not aiming to offend. The conversation delves into the Troja case, where a woman was found guilty of manslaughter for killing her husband. The discussion highlights the implications of the forfeiture rule, which prevented her from inheriting anything from her husband's will, redirecting the inheritance to her mother-in-law instead.
