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.
