Now that Keneth lay is dead, is it fair that his family get the spoils of Enron, without further litigation?

I mean wasn't he convicted of Conspirecy to defraud. If I robbed a bank and died after my conviction but before my appeal would my family get to keep the money I stole? Why aren't we questioning this? Do people not remember that Lay was Bush's best friend in College, and his biggest campaign contributer, infact the biggest of all time?
