13 Disqualification for Inheritance

1. The murderer-heir: the person causing (or abetting) the intestate's death — disqualified (the slayer rule); 2. The unworthiness grounds: the conviction for the intestate's murder-or-serious-crime against the family; the fraud-and-coercion against the testator (the will-context); 3. The renunciation-and-status grounds: the valid disclaimer (the heir's renunciation deed); the conversion-to-alien-status history's absence in the modern law (no religious disqualification — the secular design); the simultaneously-dead (the commorientes' presumption of survivorship order); 4. The disqualified child? — the child's-and-spouse's protection: no disqualification for the estranged-or-disabled heir (the equal-treatment command); the will's compulsory-share limits (the near-heirs' reserved fractions capping the disinheritance).
