    In the event of an incident where two people suffer injuries that are eventually fatal is the one who passed away second deemed to inherit any assets that they would have inherited should they have survived.

    This is well covered in text books. So well covered that I have completely forgotten it. My path to legal enlightenment should probably include a little more reading and a little less drinking. Wikipedia will most likely answer this in general terms.

    Another Theoretical question regarding wills.

    Given that a person cannot inherit from someone they murder, if the follow occured
    • Person A is convicted of Murdering Person B,
    • The estate of Person B is distributed to Persons C/D/E
    • The Conviction of Person A is overturned/Another Person perhaps is convicted.

    Would the now innocent/exonerated Person A regain an entitlement to a share of the Estate of Person B. Would those who inherited have to repay to the estate for a distribution to Person A.
