by insurance of victim.

No person who is convicted of murder in the first degree, murder

in the second degree, manslaughter in the first degree, as defined

by the laws of this state, or the laws of any other state or foreign

country, of having taken, caused, or procured another to take, the

life of an individual, or who has been convicted of abuse, neglect

or exploitation of a vulnerable adult pursuant to Section 843.3 of

Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, shall inherit from the victim of

the offense, or receive any interest in the estate of the victim, or

take by devise or legacy, or as a designated beneficiary of an

account or security which is a POD or TOD designation, or as a

surviving joint tenant, or by descent or distribution, from the

victim, any portion of the victim's estate; and no beneficiary of

any policy of insurance or certificate of membership issued by any

benevolent association or organization, payable upon the death or

disability of any person, who in like manner takes, causes, or

procures to be taken, the life upon which such policy or certificate

is issued, or who causes or procures a disability of such person, or

who has been convicted of abuse, neglect or exploitation of a

vulnerable adult pursuant to Section 843.3 of Title 21 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, where such deceased or disabled person was the

victim, shall take the proceeds of such policy or certificate; but

in every instance mentioned in this section all benefits that would

accrue to any such person upon the death or disability of the person

whose life is thus taken, or who is thus disabled, shall become

subject to distribution among the other heirs of such deceased

person according to the laws of descent and distribution, in the

case of death, and in case of disability, the benefits thereunder

shall be paid to the disabled person; provided, however, that an

insurance company shall be discharged of all liability under a

policy issued by it upon payment of the proceeds in accordance with

the terms thereof, unless before such payment the company shall have

written notice by or in behalf of some claimant other than the

beneficiary named in the policy that a claim to the proceeds of such

policy will be made by heirs of such deceased under the provisions

of this section.
