Chapter 88 - Slayers
8806 - Joint tenants, joint owners and joint obligees.

     § 8806.  Joint tenants, joint owners and joint obligees.
        (a)  Joint ownership by slayer and decedent.--One-half of any
     property held by the slayer and the decedent as joint tenants,
     joint owners or joint obligees shall pass upon the death of the
     decedent to his estate, and the other half shall pass to his
     estate upon the death of the slayer, unless the slayer obtains a
     separation or severance of the property or a decree granting
     partition.
        (b)  Joint ownership by three or more persons.--As to
     property held jointly by three or more persons, including the
     slayer and the decedent, any enrichment which would have accrued
     to the slayer as a result of the death of the decedent shall
     pass to the estate of the decedent. If the slayer becomes the
     final survivor, one-half of the property shall immediately pass
     to the estate of the decedent and the other half shall pass to
     his estate upon the death of the slayer, unless the slayer
     obtains a separation or severance of the property or a decree
     granting partition.
        (c)  Enforceable agreements unaffected.--The provisions of
     this section shall not affect any enforceable agreement between
     the parties or any trust arising because a greater proportion of
     the property has been contributed by one party than by the
     other.
