The relevant provisions on the disposal and inheritance of the estate are as follows:
Article 13 of the Inheritance Law stipulates that the heirs who have special difficulties in life and lack the ability to work shall be given consideration when distributing the inheritance.
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 stipulates that an appropriate inheritance may be allocated to persons who, other than heirs, rely on the decedent to support them and lack the ability to work and have no source of income, or to persons who, other than heirs, support more of the decedent.
Article 24 stipulates that those who have heritage shall keep it properly, and no one shall misappropriate or contend for it.
Article 26 stipulates that, unless otherwise agreed, if the estate is divided, half of the jointly owned property acquired by the husband and wife during the period of marriage shall be allocated to the spouse first, and the rest shall be the estate of the decedent.
If the estate is in the common property of the family, the property of others shall be divided first when the estate is divided.
Article 27 provides that in any of the following circumstances, the relevant part of the estate shall be dealt with in accordance with statutory succession:
（1） A testamentary successor abandons inheritance or a legatee abandons legacy;
（2） The testamentary successor loses the right of inheritance;
（3） A testamentary successor or legatee dies before the testator;
（4） The estate involved in the invalid part of the will;
（5） An estate that has not been disposed of by a will.
Article 28 stipulates that at the time of the division of the estate, the share of the unborn child shall be retained. If the fetus is dead at birth, the reserved share shall be handled according to legal inheritance.
