In this gripping episode of Law & Pop Culture, Christine and Kristine take a deep dive into the notorious Menendez brothers case, exploring the estate planning implications and legal complexities behind the crime. The 1989 murders of entertainment executive Jose Menendez and his wife Kitty shocked the nation, but the estate planning issues that surfaced in the aftermath raised questions about family dynamics, inheritance laws, and criminal liability in estate cases.
We examine how the Menendez brothers’ motive was linked to their inheritance, and the subsequent legal debates surrounding their eligibility to inherit their parents' estate after their conviction. We highlight the “slayer rule” and other inheritance laws that bar individuals from profiting from crimes against family members, explaining how these laws came into play in this high-profile case.
