How should the heritage division proceed?

 

If you have real estate or movable property and you have multiple heirs, you have to decide who will get what by inheritance. This is called a heritage division consultation. Dividing deposits according to statutory inheritance * is relatively easy, but if you have several real estate properties, you may need to discuss who will get what, what your name will be, and so on. (* Legal inheritance: 1/2 to 1/2 for spouse and child, 2/3 to 1/3 for spouse and parent, 3/4 for spouse and siblings It will be 1/4 vs.)

It would be nice if the heirs could conclude the discussion, but if there is a problem such as who took care of the deceased parent the most, it is still necessary to resolve it by mediation at the family court. In addition, if there is a will, you have the right to recover it if the property is distributed to the heir or a third party beyond a certain limit (request for reduction of the remaining portion).

Heritage division mediation to the family court begins by submitting a petition for mediation to the court, similar to mediation such as divorce. If there is a fierce dispute over how much you would like to see the value of real estate or how much you would like to contribute to the inherited property, please consult a lawyer.
