Hot girl meets rich boy, boy proposes to girl, and there is a HEA. Wait a minute; we’re not romance writers. Our ending’s more likely to be: girl makes sure boy meets with unfortunate demise, girl inherits, and lives HEA.
In crime writing, there’s usually a motive for killing someone. And all too often, that motive is money. Ever wonder how the laws of inheritance work? How about someone who kills a rich, elderly aunt to inherit her fortune. What if the inheritor is caught? Do they automatically lose the money? Do laws vary by state?
Join Buckeye Crime Writers for an interactive Zoom session with Larae Schraeder, Schraeder Law, LLC, on Saturday, March 20,, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST as she touches on what happened in a few high-profile cases, talks through some of the gradations of guilty and the impact that has on inheritance, helps you with your questions, and explains some things that we as writers should be thinking about in our own plans.
