What does the NY non-slayer rule provide?

Explanation:
New York’s non-slayer rule prevents the person who caused the decedent’s death from taking any part of the decedent’s estate. If the killer would otherwise inherit under a will or by intestacy, that person's inheritance is barred and the property passes to the next eligible beneficiary as if the killer had predeceased the decedent. The rule does not depend on weapon use and does not require the non-killer to testify; it can apply regardless of whether other individuals were involved in the death.
