Is a person serving a life sentence entitled to benefit from money left to them in a will?
Yes, but with one exception. A person serving a life sentence is doing so because he/she has been convicted of a crime. The criminal laws prescribe punishment such as fines and imprisonment (and perhaps loss of vote or right to possess guns)for violating laws, but criminal penalties do not take away all rights. Even such prisoners are still entitled to rights of due process, freedom from cruel and unusual punishment and others. No criminal laws take away the very basic rights of prisoners entirely. As to the exception: If the person is serving a life sentence for murdering the person who left him the money in the will, then he is not allowed to inherit.
