Introduced Text

Missouri SB1690 establishes provisions for the effect of homicide on benefits received from a decedent's estate.

Missouri SB1690 amends Chapter 474, RSMo, by adding a new section, 474.145, which addresses the effect of a felonious and intentional killing on benefits received from a decedent's estate. The bill revokes any revocable dispositions, appointments, provisions, or nominations made by the decedent to the killer in a governing instrument. It also severs the interests of the decedent and killer in property held by them as joint tenants with the right of survivorship.
