simultaneous deathnoun
In the law of wills, the death of two persons, each of whom would inherit the estate of the other if deemed to have survived the other, where such deaths occur within a time period set by statute (typically 120 hours), because of which the law treats each person as if they had died before the other in determining the distribution of estates.

Simultaneous death
Simultaneous death is a problem of inheritance which occurs when two people, at least one of whom is entitled to part or all of the other's estate on their death die at the same time. This is usually the result of an accident, but in some cases may occur as a result of homicide. Under the common law, if there was any evidence whatsoever that one party had survived the other, even by a few moments, then the estates would be distributed in that order, though the decedents could write a clause in the will that requires their property to be distributed as though each had predeceased the other. Some wills now include Titanic clauses. These clauses lay out explicit instructions for dealing with simultaneous death.
