I am confident that any community which prohibits murder in the first place will also find it prudent to void contracts which require murder or to allow anyone to directly benefit from murder or to create benefit for others -- including the murderer's heirs. B's 'estate' and the amount A paid, if recoverable, will probably be assigned to compensate heirs of the victim. A might be found complicit as well and assessed damages. Note: I did specify murder -- an unjustified, improper use of force. G.
