Ask the person that you expect to kick the bucket in the next ten years what they think.

Kill them immediately. You'll get a life sentence but you're bound to be out within 10 years. Result

Coz, there are soooo many ways this may not pan out as you expect.

What if one of them dies and the other one is befreinded by someone that they come to rely on and then leave everything to them.
Ive seen this happen several times.

If they did die soon then it will be a bit more effort than if you'd held off but you need to do what's best for you now and as the phrase goes, play the position on the chess board in front of you.
