Legal Question
Virginia Slayer law
In the case of a murder/suicide, I understand that joint property passes to the estate of victim as if the slayer predeceased, but what about joint debts? How are bills on joint accounts assigned to the estate of the victim and the estate of the slayer? What if the debt is secured by joint property, like a home equity line or mortgage on property that passes to the estate of the victim?
