PROPERTY PASSING BY WILL OR INTESTATE SUCCESSION; SURVIVING SPOUSE (§
64.2-2502)

A. The slayer shall be deemed to have predeceased the decedent as to property
that would have passed from the estate of the decedent to the slayer by
intestate succession or that the slayer would have acquired by statutory right
as the decedent&#8217;s surviving spouse. An heir or distributee who establishes
his kinship to the decedent by way of his kinship to a slayer shall be deemed to
be claiming from the decedent and not through the slayer.

B. The slayer shall be deemed to have predeceased the decedent as to property
that would have passed to the slayer by the will of the decedent; however, the
antilapse provisions of &#xA7; 64.2-418 are applicable to such property.
