<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hello – <O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P> </O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have an unfortunate probate where a mother and son were murdered while the son was visiting his mother in Pennsylvania. The son was killed 12 hours before the mother, according to the charging documents, and (perhaps more importantly) his death was the day before hers. Son is intestate and resident of WA; mother has a valid will to be probated in PA. <O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P> </O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am not finding any period of survival required for the mother, and she is his only intestate heir. Do any of you know any reason why her estate should not be the sole recipient of her son’s estate? Probably not something that comes up regularly, and I am not finding any cases that address it.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P> </O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your thoughts, Jeannie <O:P></O:P></P>
