§ 55-403. Descent, distribution and statutory rights as survivor

The slayer shall be deemed to have predeceased the decedent as to property which would have passed from the estate of the decedent to the slayer under the statutes of descent and distribution or which would have been acquired by statutory right as surviving spouse.
