Rights and obligations between parents and children

Inheritance Issues in Families

Through the case of Mr. Zhang's estate distribution, the issue of family inheritance was explored. According to the Constitution and the Civil Code, inheritance is the private property right of citizens, and inheritance mainly occurs among family members. The inheritance order is divided into the first order and the second order. The first order includes spouse, children and parents, and the second order includes brothers and sisters, grandparents and maternal grandparents. The inheritance shares of heirs in the same order should be equally distributed. But for the inheritors who have fulfilled their main obligation of supporting the deceased or living together, they can receive more inheritance; The inheritor who fails to fulfill their obligation of support should receive less or no share of the inheritance. In the case of Mr. Zhang, the eldest son was entitled to a greater share of the inheritance due to living together and fulfilling the primary responsibility of supporting him; The younger son should receive less or no inheritance due to failure to fulfill his obligation to support him.
