Was that the *only* distribution from the estate?

My mistake as it was an Indiana Court of Appeals that ruled....not Montana.

Here is the link to this case where the central issue was described as "If a
man kills his wife and then himself and both die intestate, should the man's
children by a previous marriage inherit the wife's property through their
father if the wife had no other children."

CORRECTION:
In the article at this link the issue is stated followed by the words "We
affirm."

Well, I find this misleading and I mistakenly inferred the opposite of what
transpired. A closer reading of this case (i.e. the entire article) shows
that the children of the murderer DID NOT have a legal right to the wife's
property.

The court determined that Robert (the murderer) could not benefit from
wrongfully killing his wife (Donna) by receiving life insurance benefits,
retirement and savings benefits, joint or entireties property, survivor
shares, or any other property owned by Donna and could not inherit property
from Donna as a heir.
