In re ESTATE OF MAHONEY
126 Vt. 31, 220 A.2d 475 (1966)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Wife (W) sought review of the decision which granted the estate of
her late husband to his parents because W had been convicted of manslaughter in his death.
FACTS: Howard Mahoney died intestate from gunshot wounds. Mrs. Mahoney (P) was convicted
of voluntary manslaughter for shooting Howard. Howard's estate was ordered distributed to
his mother and father. P appealed the order of the probate court; the conviction of
voluntary manslaughter disabled P from taking any part of her husband's estate.
