Indiana precludes a parent who illegally kills the other parent from inheriting from the deceased parent’s child

Effective July 1, 2008, Indiana will preclude a parent who illegally kills the other parent from inheriting from the deceased parent’s child.

No connection between the child’s death and the conduct of the disinherited parent is required to trigger to disqualification.  It also does not matter is the child is a minor or an adult.
