 Attorneys specializing in inheritance consultation play a crucial role in assisting and guiding clients through legal issues related to inherited assets. With in-depth knowledge and practical experience, they ensure the asset distribution process is fair, transparent, and fully compliant with the law. Inheritance lawyers not only assist in drafting wills and legal documents but also represent clients in resolving inheritance disputes. They provide peace of mind and confidence to clients in complex and sensitive situations, helping them optimally protect their own rights and those of their family.

What is the Concept of Inheritance?

In the simplest terms, inheritance refers to the transfer of assets (houses, land, money, etc.) and property rights (land use rights, intellectual property rights, etc.) or obligations (debts) from a deceased person to another individual. Typically, the heirs are blood relatives of the deceased, such as grandparents-grandchildren or parents-children. However, the law also recognizes the right of the deceased to transfer assets and property rights to non-relatives.

Forms of Inheritance Distribution

Inheritance by Will
Pursuant to Article 624 of the Civil Code 2015, a will is the expression of an individual’s intent to transfer their property to others after death. A will may be made before or at the time of the testator’s death.
Inheritance by will is the form of inheritance prioritized by law. Only in cases where there is no will, or the will is invalid in whole or in part, will the deceased’s property be distributed through other means, known as inheritance by law.
Inheritance by Law
Pursuant to Article 649 of the Civil Code 2015, inheritance by law refers to inheritance according to the order of inheritance, conditions, and sequence as prescribed by law.
Inheritance by law, as stipulated in Article 650 of the Civil Code 2015, applies in the following cases:
“a) There is no will;
b) The will is unlawful;
c) The heirs designated in the will die before or at the same time as the testator; the agency or organization designated to inherit under the will no longer exists at the time of opening of inheritance;
d) The persons designated as heirs under the will have no right to inherit or renounce the inheritance.”
In addition, inheritance by law also applies to portions of the estate not covered by an effective will or portions not disposed of in the will.
