Professor John Mee:

If investments are held separately, nothing applies, but it they are held jointly, it is like a joint tenancy and they would be covered by the severance. If an investment bond of €100,000 was in the joint names, the result would be that the two people would become entitled as tenants in common under the current law, and under this Bill they would start out as tenants in common, there would be discretion and the court could reduce the killer's share or reduce the victims' share as it is currently drafted, surprisingly enough.
