- he or she wilfully and unlawfully caused or attempted to cause the death of the person now deceased;
- 2.
- he or she wilfully and unlawfully rendered the person now deceased permanently incapable of making a testamentary disposition;
- 3.
- by malice, coercion or threat he or she induced the person now deceased to make or revoke a testamentary disposition or prevented him or her from doing so;

- he or she wilfully and unlawfully eliminated or invalidated a testamentary disposition in such a manner as to prevent the person now deceased from drawing up a new one.
2 Unworthiness to inherit does not apply if the person now deceased has forgiven the person concerned.
