     § 8811.  Proceeds of insurance.
        (a)  Policies on life of decedent.--Insurance proceeds
     payable to the slayer as the beneficiary or assignee of any
     policy or certificate of insurance on the life of the decedent,
     or as the survivor of a joint life policy, shall be paid to the
     estate of the decedent, unless the policy or certificate
     designates some person not claiming through the slayer as
     alternative beneficiary to him.
        (b)  Policies on life of slayer.--If the decedent is
     beneficiary or assignee of any policy or certificate of
     insurance on the life of the slayer, the proceeds shall be paid
     to the estate of the decedent upon the death of the slayer,
     unless the policy names some person other than the slayer or his
     estate as alternative beneficiary, or unless the slayer by
     naming a new beneficiary or assigning the policy performs an act
     which would have deprived the decedent of his interest in the
     policy if he had been living.
