What are the circumstances of statutory loss of inheritance rights?

The circumstances of statutory loss of inheritance rights include intentionally killing the decedent, killing other heirs for the purpose of competing for the inheritance, abandoning the decedent, or abusing the decedent, forgery, tampering, concealing or destroying the will if the circumstances are serious, and the circumstances are serious, and the use of fraud or coercion to compel or hinder the decedent from establishing, altering, or withdrawing the will, and the circumstances are serious.

Article 1125 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China Where an heir commits any of the following acts, he shall lose his right of inheritance:

1) Intentionally killing the decedent;

2) killing other heirs for the purpose of competing for an inheritance;

3) Abandoning the decedent, or abusing the decedent, where the circumstances are serious;

4) Falsifying, tampering with, concealing, or destroying a will, where the circumstances are serious;

5) Using fraud or coercion to compel or obstruct the decedent's establishment, modification, or revocation of the will, where the circumstances are serious.

Where the heirs have the conduct in items (3) through (5) of the preceding paragraph, and truly show repentance, and the decedent expresses forgiveness or later lists them as heirs in the will, the heirs do not lose their inheritance rights.

Where the legatee has the conduct provided for in the first paragraph of this article, he or she loses the right to receive the bequest.

1) Intentionally killing the deceased.

The intentional killing of the decedent by the heir is a serious crime, and the right to inherit is lost whether it is completed or attempted.

2) Killing other heirs for the sake of inheritance.

The killing of other heirs by the heirs includes both the killing of the testamentary heir by the legal heir and the killing of the legal heir by the testamentary heir; It includes both the killing of the second-order heir by the first-order heir and the killing of the first-order heir by the second-order heir.

3) Abandoning the decedent, or abusing the decedent, where the circumstances are serious.

Abandonment of the decedent refers to the refusal to perform the obligation of support to the decedent who has no ability to work and no livelihood; The so-called abuse of the decedent refers to the physical or mental destruction or torture of the decedent before his or her death.

For those who abandon the decedent, regardless of whether the circumstances are serious, they will lose their inheritance rights, but if the heirs have truly expressed repentance and the abandoned person has expressed forgiveness during his lifetime, the loss of inheritance rights may not be confirmed.

4) Forgery, alteration or destruction of wills, where the circumstances are serious. The so-called forged will refers to the creation of a fake will in the name of the deceased. The so-called tampering with the will refers to changing the content of the will made by the deceased.

The so-called destruction of a will means the destruction of a will made by the heir. Whether the circumstances of forgery, tampering or destruction of the will are serious is the criterion for judging whether the inheritance right is lost.

The statutory circumstances for the loss of inheritance rights are: 1. The heir has intentionally killed the decedent, and it is not required that the death of the decedent must have been caused at this time. 2. The heirs kill the other heirs because they want to fight for the inheritance.

3. The heir has abandoned the decedent or the decedent, and the circumstances have reached a serious level. 4. The heir has forged, tampered with or destroyed the will, and the circumstances are more serious.

According to the provisions of the Inheritance Law, the heir shall lose the right of inheritance if he or she falls under any of the following circumstances:

1. The heir intentionally kills the decedent;

2. The heirs kill other heirs in order to compete for the inheritance;

3. The heir abandons the decedent or abuses the decedent, and the circumstances are serious;

4. The heirs forge, tamper with, or destroy the will, and the circumstances are serious.

According to the law, the heir shall lose the right of inheritance under any of the following circumstances: (1) the heir intentionally kills the decedent. It should be noted that regardless of whether it is completed or not, and regardless of the motive for killing, the right to inherit the decedent himself is lost; In addition, the heir only loses the inheritance right of the decedent to whom he was killed, and not the inheritance right of a third party other than the decedent.

2) Heirs kill other heirs in order to compete for inheritance. It is required that the purpose of the killing must be to compete for the inheritance; The heir loses only his right to inherit the decedent in dispute. (3) The heirs abandon the decedent or abuse the decedent, and the circumstances are serious.

According to the judicial interpretation of the Supreme Court, if the heir later repents and the decedent forgives him during his lifetime, his inheritance rights can be restored. Therefore, the right of inheritance of the heir at fault in this case is not absolutely lost. (4) The heirs forge, tamper with, or destroy the will, and the circumstances are serious.
