The Inheritance Law stipulates that:
 Article 13 Successors in the same order shall generally inherit in equal shares.
 When distributing the estate, consideration shall be given to heirs who have special difficulties and lack the ability to work.
 When distributing the estate, a successor who has made major contributions to the decedent or who lives with the decedent may receive a larger share.
 If successors who are able and qualified to support them fail to fulfill their obligations, they shall, at the time of distributing the estate, be given no share or a small share.
 Successors may also be unequal if they agree through consultation.
 Article 14: An appropriate inheritance may be allocated to persons other than heirs who rely on the decedent to support them and who lack the ability to work and have no source of income, or to persons other than heirs who support more of the decedent.
