Settlements to forfeit property are designed to conserve the resources of both the claimants and the government in situations where justice will be served.
Under Pennsylvania's civil asset forfeiture laws, the government can legally take property it claims is connected to illegal activity but without actually charging, much less convicting, the property owner of a crime.
Forfeiture means the lease can be terminated and the property revert to the freeholder. This could arise if the leaseholder breaches the terms of the lease. An example could be a failure by a leaseholder to maintain their flat.
The forfeiture rule, that no one who unlawfully kills another can share in the victim's estate or receive any other financial gain from the death, appears appropriate and immutable.
