<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Karen because the intestate statute basically is a will substitute. By not having a written will, deceased aunt chose to leave her estate to her sibling and apparently murderous nephew. With that said, deceased sibling’s
estate may still have a wrongful death claim against son (nephew) assuming SOL hasn’t run and could file suit and obtain a writ of attachment on inheritance.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello listmates,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have searched the case law and I am scratching my head and hoping someone can help me out. I have a probate where the decedent’s intestate estate would pass in equal shares to her two siblings. However, one of the siblings was murdered
several years earlier by her son, the decedent’s nephew. Under the intestacy statute the nephew would take his mother’s share, but my reading of the Slayer Statute (RCW 11.84) is that the nephew is barred from inheriting because of the prohibition on his
profiting from his crime.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The statute focuses on a slayer or abuser inheriting directly from the decedent they killed or abused, and all the case law I have found is based on such facts. Is a slayer also barred from inheriting from a third party by reason of his
crime? That is my interpretation of RCW 11.84.030, but I would appreciate any advice or input the group can offer.<o:p></o:p></p>
