At the time of inheritance, if the decedent did not leave a valid legacy maintenance agreement or will before his life, the inheritance shall be handled in accordance with statutory succession. The heirs in the first order are the spouse, children and parents; If there is no successor in the first order, the successor in the second order, namely, brothers and sisters, grandparents and maternal grandparents, shall inherit. 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.
The inheritance law of our country clearly stipulates that the heirs should deal with the inheritance issue through consultation in the spirit of mutual understanding and mutual accommodation, harmony and unity. The time, method and share of the division of the estate shall be determined by the successors through consultation. If the consultation fails, the people's mediation committee may mediate or bring a lawsuit to the people's court. Therefore, if one or part of the heirs think that the distribution of the estate is unreasonable, they can be mediated by the people's mediation committee or bring a lawsuit to the people's court to resolve the dispute.
