A Legal Question?

On another tangent, I've wondered from time to time what legal difficulties would result if somebody added a clause to his will devoting some of his estate to finance a contract assassination. "Upon my death, I direct that $500,000 be applied to hiring a couple of guys to whack __." Does it count as conspiracy or something like that if no killing will be made or even really planned until after the person ordering it has died?

A contract to break the law is unenforcable. I'd assume they could theoretically charge the deceased (but why bother), but the clause in the will is invalid.
