A person marries to become next of kin. The will is changed so that they inherit most or all. The person then murders the spouse but gets caught and convicted. Does the will still stand?

Mmm....thanks for the answers so far. My only concern was the prosecution having to prove that the motive was or was not the money, after all....in some cases it may not be. There are so many strange laws and ways out of things. Oh, and I already have two thumbs down! incredible...I didn;t say that I was considering it.....I am in fact doing some homework for a course.....or am I? lol

Aw lighten up and join the real world Wise5557 and live up to your name. The question was not should they be punished, we all know the answer to that, but thanks for pointing out the obvious anyway! These things actually happen you know, and thinking that they shouldn't doesn't make them groovy on into the Twilight Zone. What a wonderful world it would be when the only things taught in University/school were the only things needed in life...like....pink things...and butterflies...ooh and those cute little easter bunnies

If the person is convicted of murder he/she cannot inherit but when I did law if they were convicted of manslaughter then they can inherit.
The will still stands though and if he/she cannot inherit the rest of the will is valid

because of the fact the present government and opposition are afraid of insulting anybody this guy can march and insist that my human rights are breached as a manner to fulfill a barbaric legal (thats a comedian tale describing it as legal) equipment Britain's perfect challenge is political correctness and an apprehension of insulting a definite faith who refuse to undertake the guidelines and lifestyle or maybe settle for those. the place are the Buddhists protesting? the place are the hindus protesting ? the place are the jewish protesting? they are actually not, they only stay their lives, stay actual to their guy or woman faiths and a competent, useful British voters Britain isn't and is only not an Islamic u . s ., If somebody desires Islamic regulation then they might desire to stay in an Islamic u . s . that practises Sharia regulation. Why do I additionally think of this has something to do with Pakistan granting the Taliban the marvelous to manage Sharia regulation in an area of Pakistan

I believe it does. Furthermore, the spouse tends to get all even with no will.
The money will then sit in the murderer's bank account until the murderer either dies, manages to withdraw or spend it while in prison or gets released.
But then there are millions of obscure laws I don't know about.

it would have to be proved that there was planing involved thats murder, manslaughter is unplanned that where there are levels to manslaughter. In either case the will would not stand if it were proven that the intention was for money or defraud any system

I suggest your course work should be re-written and the questions likewise by who ever set it or gave it to you because it is incriminating and suspicious.If i am in a position to write and set a law standard i would make one stand regarding killing - whoever commit murder regardless of their motive or age would be convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment,period.

Of course not, the law sees to it that this does not happen.

If the murderer was caught he/she would not inherit because you cannot benefit from the proceeds of crime.
