Apparently there is some question as to who should receive the multi-million dollar inheritance from the late pro wrestler Chris Benoit. If you are not familiar with the story, Benoit for whatever reason killed his family and then himself. Under Georgia law it breaks down to a seemingly simple question: Who did he kill first - his wife or his son?
If he killed his wife, Nancy, first then his 2 children from a previous marriage will receive the inheritance.
If he killed his son first then his wife's family will receive the inheritance.
Technically it was Benoit himself who died last but there is a Slayer Statute that in legal terms causes him to be considered the first person who died.
So let me get this straight...
His in-laws are trying to prevent his other biological children from receiving the inheritance?
Why would they do that? In a statement they said they are just trying to make sure money goes to the legal heir. Yeah, right! It looks to me like they are being greedy and vindictive. They are mad about Nancy's death and they want to feel better about it by taking money away from children. We're talking millions of dollars so of course it is very tempting but in a perfect world (which of course this one is not) the money would be divided equally among any surviving children with no questions asked.
Thoughts?
