Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-03-02

The sky was gray and there was not a single cloud. The day has come when the old lady of the Liu family will return to dust, and the two daughters of the Liu family knelt in front of their mother's grave, heartbroken. The only son of the Liu family, **, barely squeezed out two tears. Daughter-in-law Wang Xueping, thunder and rain, pretending to be sad on the surface, but in her heart she wished that her mother would die early and wait to inherit the family property.

After the funeral, relatives and friends retreated one after another, leaving only ** who couldn't wait to ask the second sister Liu Li, how much is left of her mother's inheritance? Whether it can be divided equally among the three siblings. Liu Li replied: "There is almost 1.5 million left, but this money is not your share!" "* I don't believe it, he is the only male, it is impossible for his mother not to leave it to him, it must be the eldest sister and the second sister who want to steal this property.

Liu Li seemed to see through her brother's mind and handed him the will. It reads in black letters: "My future affairs will be handled by my daughter, and the second daughter Liu Li will inherit four-fifths of the property, and the eldest daughter Liu Juan will inherit one-fifth, and no one shall interfere." "What is the reason for Mrs. Liu to make such a will?

It all started 20 years ago, when the unit gave Mrs. Liu a two-bedroom apartment and a small bungalow. Mrs. Liu took into account the poor financial situation of her second daughter Liu Li, both husband and wife were laid off, and Liu Li's health was not very good, and "the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat", so she decided to give the small bungalow to Liu Li to live in. In contrast, the conditions of the eldest sister Liu Juan are better, not to mention that when she got married, Mrs. Liu emptied all the savings in the family.

Mrs. Liu's approach caused dissatisfaction among her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law's mother was furious and came to the door to accuse her of partiality and why she gave the house to her daughter instead of her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Liu suddenly realized, could it be that her daughter-in-law's mother was deliberately looking for trouble? She responded unceremoniously: "Your daughter is a daughter, isn't my daughter a daughter?" This is our house, I can divide it however I want, it's not your turn to be an outsider! The daughter-in-law's mother's face turned red, as if she had been stuck in a fish bone, and she turned away angrily.

The daughter-in-law's mother is by no means a reasonable person, and after she went back, she angrily exaggerated Mrs. Liu's words to her daughter, and Wang Xueping immediately conveyed Mrs. Liu's bad image, which was difficult to argue. ** is a man who is firmly controlled by his wife, and in order to appease his wife, he has since cut off contact with his parents and two sisters. What's more, he doesn't even let the child meet his grandparents.

20 years have passed, her wife died, and Mrs. Liu sold the house for 3.2 million, called her 3 children to her side, and divided 1.6 million equally among them, leaving only enough for the elderly. However, Mrs. Liu's death was so fast. In other words, Mrs. Liu still had 1.5 million in her hand when she was dying, and she drew up this will. Unable to believe that his mother could do this to him, he took his two sisters to court with a complaint.

In court, ** filed a lawsuit, claiming that Mrs. Liu's will was coerced and signed by the second sister and the eldest sister, and requested that it be revoked. However, the second sister and the eldest sister actually provided multiple pieces of evidence to prove that Mrs. Liu was completely awake when the will was signed, and clearly expressed her wishes. The court's verdict unexpectedly upheld Liu Li and Liu Juan, finding that Mrs. Liu's will was legal and valid. Angrily slamming the wooden chairs of the courtroom and leaving in a rage.

Uncle Chen's point of view:

1.When Mrs. Liu distributed the family property, she made a fair decision based on her daughter's financial and physical condition. As a laid-off person, Liu Li needs more financial support, so it is reasonable to give her a small bungalow. Liu Juan's economic conditions are relatively good, and she also gets a certain share. Mrs. Liu's distribution of property is not partiality to **, but to meet the needs of her daughter, which is in line with the principle of fairness.

2.When Mrs. Liu chose the order of succession, she deliberately emphasized that no one should interfere. This shows that she has reasonable control over her property, and it also shows that she affirms her trust in her two daughters and her decision-making ability. **Questioning the mother's will is not respecting the mother's wishes and decisions, and the content of the will should be respected.

Grandma Lin's point of view:

1.Mrs. Liu was too partial to Liu Li in the distribution of the family property and gave her most of the inheritance, which was unfair to her only son. As the only male, he should have more inheritance rights and not be excluded from the family property. Mrs. Liu has obvious eccentricity in this regard, which has led to family discord.

2.Mrs. Liu's hostility and distrust of her daughter-in-law Wang Xueping are also one of the reasons for family discord. Her negative conception of Wang Xueping affected the atmosphere of family harmony, alienated her parents and sisters, and led to the aggravation of family conflicts. Mrs. Liu's behavior in this regard is unfair and unreasonable.

Legal opinion: In addition to distributing the family property, what harm did Mrs. Liu do to ** and other children? Her many actions have caused irreconcilable contradictions and destroyed the harmony and happiness of the family. However, based on my knowledge of the law and my research into the case, I would advise ** not to proceed with the appeal as he did not have sufficient evidence to prove that the revocation and unreasonableness of the will.

According to the provisions of the Inheritance Law of our country, a will is valid because it is signed in the sober state of the testator and with the consent of the beneficiary. In addition, according to the provisions of the Marriage Act, husbands and wives should treat each other as equals and should not be treated unfairly on the basis of their sex. Although ** is the only male offspring, he has no right to unilaterally demand a fair distribution of the inheritance. Therefore, it is advisable to accept the court's verdict and reconcile with the two sisters to rebuild the harmony and relationship of the family. Only in this way will he be able to free himself from this painful controversy and find a new direction in his life.
