Anyang Inheritance Attorney Assistance Case | Recovered the Statutory Share of Inheritance by Representing the Client in a Division of Inherited Property Lawsuit

The clients and the decedent had maintained a harmonious family relationship until they lost their father, the head of the household.

So, while settling the estate after the funeral, the eldest son, one of the co-heirs, demanded an excessive amount as his share of inheritance.

The clients proposed dividing it fairly, but the eldest son refused, so the clients filed a lawsuit to settle the estate according to the statutory shares of inheritance.

When inheritance has commenced and there are several heirs, it proceeds in the form of co-inheritance.

In such cases, 🔗Division of Inherited Property is carried out according to the shares of inheritance.

If the deceased decedent designated the heirs' shares and the heirs completed an agreement on those shares, there is little room for legal dispute.

However, if such an agreement is not reached amicably, the most certain method is to divide the estate through a court division by way of a division of inherited property lawsuit.

A division of inherited property lawsuit requires comprehensive legal knowledge, including identifying the co-heirs, accurately ascertaining the inherited property, and a detailed understanding of the shares of inheritance, so it is important to seek the advice of an expert.

The clients, who were the claimants, had each contributed at least a certain proportion to the decedent's formation and maintenance of his property during his lifetime, by taking turns covering the decedent's medical and living expenses and by helping with the decedent's business.

The attorney emphasized that there was no difference in contribution to the formation and maintenance of the property that would justify the respondent receiving an excessive share of more than half.

The respondent had already received a gift of property from the decedent during the decedent's lifetime, under the pretext of receiving support such as business funds.

The attorney emphasized that, because the cash and other property the respondent had previously received by gift was included in his special benefit, the shares of inheritance should be calculated accordingly.

To carry out a division of inherited property, the subject of the division must first be identified, and the method and timing of the division must all be agreed upon.

If such an agreement is not reached amicably, the most certain method is to resolve it through litigation.
