Having no partner, no parents, no children, who gets his inheritance? See Suzana Garcia’s explanation – Goucha

At Goucha, we talk about wills and inheritances with the help of lawyer Suzana Garcia.

Suzana Garcia was on the Goucha program to comment on the case of Mafalda, a woman who claims the inheritance that her uncle left to her nephew’s wife. With no children and no parents, this man left the woman in his will, but the family claims dementia. Now, lawyer Suzana Garcia explained that direct heirs without parents, without children and without a partner, have their brothers or nephews as heirs on behalf.

However, the lawyer explained that even with a will, the inheritance cannot be removed from the legitimate heirs. Even if the deceased does not want to allocate a share of the inheritance to these heirs, the law requires him to do so, since at the time of the will only one third of the available assets can be donated.

note: The legitimate heirs – and, therefore, with the right to legitimate inheritance – are the spouse, descendants and ascendants.

Discover Mafalda’s story:

Mafalda Pereira says she is heir to a fortune valued at 50 million euros. Mafalda is the niece of Aurélio Pereira, her uncle who passed away 10 years ago. He owned a mansion in Lisbon and donated all of his assets to his nephew’s wife. Mafalda says that the current heiress manipulated her uncle, who suffered from dementia.

The guest wants to contest the will left by her uncle, because she finds it very strange that it was in favor of the nephew’s wife and not in favor of him.
