Legal Tip 114: Murder and Inheritance

I agree...what happens if you leave it all for the dog? Can your family make a claim? As the next in line and who is in their mental capacity?
Whatever the case...im leaving it all to the possum in my back yard

 

An over-developed sense of entitlement? Poverty? Bad relationship with parents?
How do they not talk themsrlves out of this 'mindset'?

 

Yes in some circumstances

 

This one?

Pets can't inherit as they are not legal persons. You may be able to give money to someone on the condition that they take her of pets.

 

Mainly poverty if rural and lack of education/ self control. Earning money is hard work there, if you don't work for the day, you can't eat for the day. Small amount of money owed becomes a big deal if that means you're going to be starving another day. Hoping that has changed from several years ago though.

In the case I talked about, there's no 'talk out of mindset'. It's usually happen in the spur of the moment with lots of anger. Testimony is like "the devil took over, I didn't mean it". You won't find the news on big newspaper, only small local tabloid

 

Simple enough thanks. I take it the laws are different in the US?

 

They have some strange ideas over there, but I would think it would have involved a trust set up to take care of the animals.

 

Leave $x to TerryW ATF Spot ?

 

Seems situations like this aren't caused from greed but from loss of senses due to hunger. I know I'm not much fun when I'm hungry (distant memory) - no getting around a mindset when it's hunger and danger day after day.

 

Thanks for the clarification terry

 

You need to watch Dexter.

 

could not get into this series

 

I liked it - watched all seasons.

 

I saw a former client will (no beneficiaries) where all the proceeds ($1.5m) of estate went to RSPCA with specific bequest that they ensure fido and kitty cat etc were given good home (together) and cared for from the estate proceeds with residue to RSPCA on fido death. I learned RSPCA have a team of staff who handle the many millions they get each year to ensure all wishes are discharged !!

If I could just convince them to take my daughters f%c%ing cat

 

What happens in the case of assisted suicide?

The Big Sleep

 

Depends how much assistance I might imagine.

 

I wonder how much money per year these sorts of 'charities' get from estates. Some had inhouse lawyers handling all the estate matters.

 

RSPCA is even offering free online wills
Bequests

 

Good idea. I should also offer to write free wills as long as I get to be a beneficiary.
