    Just wondering about something to do with will's and the new Celine's law (stop murderers from inheriting from the person they murdered).

    Could I make a will right now leaving everything to the wife but put in a clause saying that if she kills me she gets nothing and it goes to someone else?

    There are two issues here:

    1. Unworthiness to succeed to the estate of a deceased under the s.120 of the Succession Act 1965.

    2. The proposed amendment to s.120, otherwise referred to as "Celine's Law".

    Isn't the proposed law change to stop certain types of killers from benefiting from one tennant in common getting real property when the kill another tennant. as the property is never part of the dead person's estate.

    SO a will would not apply.
