Mr. Xu, a man with a successful career in Chengdu, Sichuan, has made great achievements in life and has a property of tens of millions. However, fate played an unfortunate joke on him, and he was diagnosed with cancer and was already in an advanced stage. Facing his imminent death, Mr. Xu is very worried about the future, especially the future life of his young son. Although he had a lot of possessions, he didn't know how to ensure that they could be used on his son and not be coveted by some people with good intentions. In addition, he began to doubt the young wife's character and his own upbringing of his son.
Mr. Xu stumbled upon his young wife's mobile phone during the ** period, and accidentally discovered an ambiguous chat history between her and another man. The discovery was like a thunderbolt that shook him away. He felt terrible pain, but there was nothing he could do. He deeply felt that he did not know his wife at all, and although they had been married for many years, they did not communicate much with each other, and because of his busy work, he could not understand his wife's behavior. This caused him to be confused and uneasy, and he began to wonder if his wife would be able to take responsibility for her son and whether she would be willing to give up her happiness for him.
Mr. Xu, who was frail, sat in the study, his pale face full of sadness and reluctance. He looked out the window, his mind full of thoughts. He begins to feel confused about his son's future, and although he has a huge fortune, he cannot guarantee that his son will be used reasonably and will not be used by people with ulterior motives. He felt deeply pondered that he needed the perfect plan to secure his son's future.
Mr. Xu decided to leave his family property to his younger brother Xu, and asked him to provide his son with various expenses such as living security, starting a business and getting married. Although Mr. Xu knew his brother, he was suspicious of his motives. Human nature does not stand the test, especially in the face of a huge inheritance. Although Mr. Xu himself was not highly educated, he had many friends, and he quickly got their advice, and he decided to find a lawyer to be a witness to the property donation.
Mr. Xu accepted the lawyer's suggestion and made a will under the guidance of the lawyer, leaving all the property in his name to his younger brother Xu. In order to guarantee the validity of the will, he also performed a notarization. In order to avoid the dissatisfaction and distress of his young wife, he kept all these arrangements secret. After Mr. Xu's death, the lawyer read out his will in the presence of all relatives and friends. At this time, the young wife, Ms. Hui, was indignant and did not accept the will, and she raised many questions and protests.
At first, Ms. Hui questioned the authenticity of the will, but with a lawyer and notarization as evidence, her doubts were self-defeating. Subsequently, she questioned Mr. Xu's loss of civil capacity during his hospitalization, but her challenge was difficult to establish because of the large number of witness testimony to support him. The court ultimately rejected her claim and found the bequest agreement valid. The court of first instance held that Mr. Xu and Ms. Hui were 58 years old when they got married, and that only 1.2 million yuan in cash deposits belonged to the joint property of the husband and wife, and he had the right to dispose of them. Ms. Hui was able to share the inheritance of only 600,000 yuan. Other properties, vehicles and companies are pre-marital property and Ms. Hui is not entitled to share. At the same time, the bequest agreement has a high legal effect, which exceeds the inheritance provisions, and even if there is no will, the inheritance will not be handled in accordance with the inheritance provisions. The court of second instance upheld the judgment of the first instance.
This Ms. Hui can be said to have suffered by herself. Her betrayal dashed her hopes of not being able to receive a huge inheritance, and she was only given a property of 600,000 yuan. This case reminds us that we must be honest and bear the consequences of our actions. After discovering his wife's infidelity, Mr. Xu chose to leave his property to his younger brother through a will, asking him to protect his son's livelihood. Although such a decision caused the wife's **, the court finally made a fair judgment.
