There are lots of ways and reasons to kill people. Poor people tend to die a lot younger than rich people and people just tend to not care or notice.
As Cher once said: "I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better."
Being poor doesn't make the people around you automatically trustworthy. Trust is a chronic challenge in the world. It's not somehow unique to wealthy individuals.
Though you do have a point about "especially for those not good with the legalities of trusts, etc." Most people who win the lottery have their lives ruined by it and end up bankrupt.
But it matters how you get there. If you build a business, you also build business contacts, etc. You end up knowing lawyers and the like because you had need of them along the way to getting rich, unlike someone with a winning lottery ticket. It generally seems to go better.
