Mr. Xu has terminal cancer and is keenly aware that his life is coming to an end. Although he has a fortune of tens of millions and a young wife, he worries about his son's future with him. He wasn't sure if his wife would be able to treat his son well, and they didn't have much time to talk to each other in his life, which made him feel that he didn't know his wife well. Mr. Xu was full of doubts and uneasiness, and he was also confused about how to ensure that his money would provide for his son and avoid being calculated by others. During his recovery, he learns of his wife's cheating, which strengthens his determination to take action.
Until the last moment, Mr. Xu was at a loss for his son's future. He was willing to control his property to ensure that his son would be fully secured, and his trust in his wife was gone. He began to think about how to protect his property from his wife and made one of the most important plans for his son's future.
Mr. Xu decided to leave all his property to his younger brother Xu. Although he knows his brother very well, he still can't help but worry that he will be greedy because of the inheritance of tens of millions. He decided to take the advice of his friends and find a lawyer to witness the donation. Following the lawyer's advice, he made a bequest and testament, leaving the property to his younger brother Xu, on the condition that Xu must provide living security for Xiao Xu and be responsible for his future adult entrepreneurship, marriage and other expenses. To ensure impeccable, he also carried out a notarization. He was reluctant to tell his young wife all this, because he was afraid that she would be dissatisfied with it and even cause greater strife.
After Mr. Xu's death, the lawyer read out the notarized will in front of Xu's family. This means that the young wife, Ms. Hui, will not be able to inherit Mr. Xu's huge inheritance. She expressed strong dissatisfaction with this and tried to deny the authenticity of the bequest will. However, her challenge was not upheld, as the notarization of the will had legal effect and the lawyer had taken just measures. On this basis, she questioned that Mr. Xu had lost his civil capacity during the period, but in the face of numerous witness testimony, her challenge was again dismissed.
As Mr. Xu's wife, she could not accept that after years of sharing a bed with her husband, her husband's estate became someone else's property. However, the court's ruling did not support her claim. First of all, according to the law, Mr. Xu and Ms. Hui were 58 years old when they got married, and only 1.2 million yuan in cash deposits belonged to the joint property of the husband and wife. Mr. Xu has the right to dispose of the pre-marital property, so Ms. Hui can only get a share of this part of the property, that is, 600,000 yuan. Other properties, vehicles and companies are pre-marital property and Ms. Hui is not entitled to distribution. Second, bequest agreements have a higher priority in inheritance provisions. Since the bequest agreement is genuine and valid, according to the provisions of the Civil Code, the sequential heirs can only inherit the estate if there is no will or bequest agreement. Therefore, the court rejected Ms. Hui's claim to jointly inherit Mr. Xu's estate with Xiao Xu.
Ms. Hui chose to resist repeatedly, but in the end she only received an inheritance of 600,000 yuan. Her behavior is a reflection on the humiliation of expecting a huge inheritance after making a mistake. This story tells us that we must be upright and not do unbearable things because of personal desires. When Mr. Xu found out that his wife was cheating, he made a wise decision for the sake of his son's future and chose to leave his property to his younger brother to protect his son's life. Despite the challenges and obstacles, his choice was upheld and ruled by the law. The story is also a reminder to respect the decisions of wills and bequest agreements, and to plan for the future for ourselves and our families.
