Simultaneous Death Act

A law enacted in most states providing that when persons die at the same time or perhaps within a described number of hours of each other, and one or both would inherit from the other if only they had survived,then each will be treated as if he or she had died before the other. As a result, property does not pass through one estate briefly and then into another estate.
