遗产纠纷 Estate Dispute
遗产纠纷主要涉及被继承人死亡后遗留财产的认定、分配及管理争议,具体可分为以下三类核心内容及相关法律要点:
一、遗产范围界定纠纷  Disputes over the definition of heritage scope

围绕被继承人遗留财产的性质及归属争议,主要包括:

1、财产性质争议

  • 共有财产分割争议(如夫妻共同财产中遗产份额的划分);

  • 特殊财产认定(如知识产权收益、股权、虚拟财产等是否属于遗产);

2、遗产转化争议

  • 继承后财产增值部分的分割(例如继承房产离婚时增值部分被配偶主张分割);

  • 遗产与其他财产混同导致权属模糊;

The disputes surrounding the nature and ownership of the inherited property mainly include:
1. Disputes over property nature
  • Disputes over the division of joint property (such as the division of inheritance shares in marital joint property);

  • Special property identification (such as whether intellectual property income, equity, virtual property, etc. belong to inheritance);

2. Disputes over inheritance conversion
  • The division of the appreciation of property after inheritance (such as when the appreciation of inherited property is claimed by the spouse in divorce);

  • The confusion of inheritance and other property leads to ambiguous ownership;


二、继承主体资格纠纷  Dispute over inheritance subject qualification

涉及继承人的确认、权利丧失及顺位争议:

1、法定继承人争议

  • 非婚生子女、养子女的继承权认定;

  • 继承人顺序冲突(如第一、第二顺序继承人并存时的继承权优先级);

2、继承权丧失情形

  • 继承人存在故意杀害被继承人、遗弃虐待等行为导致丧失继承权;

3代位继承与转继承争议

  • 被继承人子女先死亡时,孙辈代位继承的适用;

  • 继承开始后、分割前继承人死亡引发的转继承纠纷;

Confirmation of heirs, loss of rights, and disputes over succession:
1. Disputes over legal heirs
  • Recognition of Inheritance Rights for Children Born Out of wedlock and Adopted Children;

  • Conflict in the order of heirs (such as the priority of inheritance rights when the first and second order heirs coexist);

2. Loss of Inheritance Rights
  • The heir intentionally kills the deceased, abandons or abuses them, resulting in the loss of inheritance rights;

3. Disputes over Substitute Inheritance and Transfer Inheritance
  • Application of grandchild substitution inheritance when the deceased's child dies first;

  • Disputes over inheritance caused by the death of the heir after the start of inheritance and before the division;

三、遗产分配与管理纠纷 Disputes over inheritance distribution and management

聚焦遗产分割方式、效力及执行问题:

1、遗嘱效力争议

  • 遗嘱形式瑕疵(如自书遗嘱未签名、代书遗嘱缺见证人);

  • 遗嘱内容歧义(如未明确“个人继承”导致配偶主张共有权);

2、分配份额冲突

  • 法定继承的均等份额例外(尽主要扶养义务者多分、生活困难者照顾);

  • 遗嘱未保留“必留份”(未为缺乏劳动能力继承人保留必要份额);

3、

遗产管理争议

  • 保管人失职导致遗产损毁;

  • 遗产债务清偿顺序及责任承担分歧;

Focusing on the methods, effectiveness, and enforcement issues of heritage division:
1. Disputes over the Validity of Wills
  • Defects in the form of a will (such as unsigned self written will, lack of witnesses in a proxy will);

  • Ambiguity in the content of the will (such as failure to specify "personal inheritance" leading to spousal claims of joint ownership);

2. Allocation share conflict
  • Exceptions to the equal share of statutory inheritance (more shares for those who fulfill their primary support obligations, and care for those in financial difficulties);

  • The will did not retain the "mandatory share" (did not reserve the necessary share for heirs lacking labor ability);

3. Disputes over heritage management
  • Negligence of the custodian leads to damage to the estate;

  • Differences in the order of debt repayment and responsibility for inheritance;

四、法律解决路径 Legal resolution path

纠纷可通过协商、调解、诉讼(向被继承人死亡地或主要遗产所在地法院起诉)处理,核心法律依据为《民法典》继承编(如第1062、1122、1130条)及司法解释。

Disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, and litigation (filing a lawsuit with the court in the place where the deceased died or where the main estate is located), with the core legal basis being the Inheritance Code of the Civil Code (such as Articles 1062, 1122, 1130) and judicial interpretations
