Yes the laws say that. People following the laws is another thing. I’ve read articles about people conspiring together to get their hands on estates. There needs to be real effective guard rails in place to stop older people being taken advantage of
It seems like a pretty convoluted way to do it. Presumably they’d need a doctor to get a terminal diagnosis, that’d be hard to fake especially without the victim having any second opinions with other doctors.
Seems like murder with extra steps. I think the good of the law outweighs these edge cases.
I’m not sure if I would vote for that for this exact reason. Instincts tell me this will be taken advantage of by bad actors
A lot of laws that I’ve seen say that they have to be diagnosed to be terminally ill less than x months to live and also psychologically evaluated.
It’s hard for me to see how that would be easily taken advantage of.
