Title 33, Chapter 25, Section 13
( 33-25-13)
No person who commits murder or voluntary manslaughter or who
conspires with another to commit murder shall receive any benefits
from any insurance policy on the life of the deceased, even though
the person so killing or conspiring be named beneficiary in the
insurance policy. A plea of guilty or a judicial finding of guilt
not reversed or otherwise set aside as to any of such crimes shall
be prima-facie evidence of guilt in determining rights under this
Code section. All right, interest, estate, and proceeds in such an
insurance policy shall go to the other heirs of the deceased who may
be entitled thereto by the laws of descent and distribution of this
state, unless secondary beneficiaries be named in the policy, in
which event such secondary beneficiaries shall take. |
