How it affects you

Children under 21 who inherit a share of the home can manage it without the parent accused or convicted of killing the other spouse. Until a final judgment they cannot sell that parent’s share, and after conviction any sale needs court approval while the killer keeps their proportional share of the proceeds.

Who gains

  • The couple’s children Manage the home without the killer spouse’s consent
  • The family court Approves a sale or a registrable transaction
  • The couple’s children Offset support payments against the spouse’s share

Who pays

  • The killer spouse No longer needs to approve management of the home
