Xiao An is a native of Anxiang County, Changde City. He is 60 years old this year. He has four sisters in his family. He is the only son and the second child. He is now working as a workshop director in a pharmaceutical company and has a worry-free life. . Since the sisters started their own families, he has lived with his mother and taken care of her daily life. Two years ago, his mother, who was over eighty years old, died of illness. Unexpectedly, after her mother passed away, he started a dispute with his three sisters and even got into a fight. Now they not only have no contact with each other, they are more like enemies. So what's going on?

It turns out that the house that Xiao An lived with his mother was located in a better area of ??the county. It was a three-story building with two facades downstairs. Xiao An said that he and his mother built a house together in 1990. The money for the construction of the house was paid for by himself, and his name was also written on the property certificate. Unexpectedly, after his mother passed away, the other sisters classified the house as ancestral property and demanded that it be subsidized. *The same assignment, which he was very angry about. Xiao An's father died unexpectedly when he was 17 years old, leaving a large family to rely on his mother to do odd jobs to support themselves. After he became an adult, as the only male in the family, he naturally shouldered the responsibility of being the head of the family. His sisters also respected this brother. Unexpectedly, two years after his mother passed away, the three sisters completely cut off contact with him in order to fight for the million-dollar property left by their mother, and he suddenly became the target of public criticism.

The eldest sister said that the property demolition funds should be divided equally, and the three sisters should share half

Xiao An recalled that her mother was old and frail. She began to show symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in 2012, and her condition worsened year by year since then. , was bedridden for two years. As an only son, he quit his job to take care of his mother full-time, and never slacked off. Moreover, the four of them also agreed that the son should support his mother and inherit his mother's inheritance. Now that his mother has passed away, the inheritance will not be mentioned for the time being. Even his own house has been taken over. The property was classified as *** and required division, which he could not accept.

Xiao An’s sister Xiao Ting lives in the same county as him, only three kilometers apart, but they have not interacted with her in the past two years. Her sister’s house is a three-story villa. From an outsider’s perspective, she must have a good family background. , if it is true as Xiao An said, the house belongs to him personally, and he is an only son, and the only son bears the responsibility of providing for his mother in her old age. Since the three sisters are already married, why do they not miss their family ties and instead have a real estate dispute?

The eldest sister Xiao Ting said that the house is not unique to her younger brother. The names of both her mother and younger brother are written on the property certificate. Since the mother has passed away, the property in her name should be equally distributed, and all children have the right to inherit. Xiao An emphasized that when his mother was ill in bed, his sister asked him to bear the responsibility of supporting her alone on the grounds of giving up the inheritance. As the only son, this is his responsibility and duty. Now that the mother has passed away, the three sisters are demanding an equal share of the inheritance on the grounds that children and children are equal. This is a complete double standard. He does not agree with such a distribution.

The eldest sister said frankly that if nothing unexpected happened, her mother's house would have been given to her younger brother as a matter of course, and they would have no complaints. However, after her mother's death, the Xiao family's house faced a second expropriation, and the amount was as high as 1.4 million yuan. One stone caused thousands of waves. The local neighborhood committee came forward to coordinate. Xiao An took away one-half of the property that belonged to him, and the remaining mother's portion was divided equally among the four siblings.

Brothers are right: married women are not eligible

But Xiao An cannot accept this plan. He feels that the responsibility for supporting his mother when she passes away will be his alone, and it will be difficult for his eldest sister to help take care of her for a few days. To pay the fee, now that the mother has passed away, she keeps saying that children are equal. This is unreasonable. The property should be owned by herself.

Since the Xiao family’s father passed away in 1970, the mother has always made the decision in the family. As the eldest son of the family, Xiao Ting has been silently assuming the role of the head of the family. She went out to work at the age of 18. , while helping younger brothers and sisters. Facing what her younger brother Xiao An said, the eldest sister Xiao Ting said that every time he went back to visit his mother, he was rejected by his younger brother. Moreover, his younger brother used to work in other places and could not come back several times a year. He had always been taking care of his mother. Xiao Ting admitted that it was her mother's property worth one million that made Xiao An obsessed with her, so she exercised her support obligations. Now that the house is facing demolition and is worth a lot of money, Xiao An wants to take possession of the property.

Xiao An admitted that the eldest sister bore part of the responsibility for her mother's support, but the younger sister who was far away in Changde and the older sister who was busy at work were indifferent to her mother. Everyone said that there is no dutiful son in bed for a long time, but Xiao An believed that he had done his best.

Xiao An recalled that when his mother was ill, he would get up at five o'clock every morning to prepare breakfast for her, and take her for a walk by the river in the evening. Because her mother had difficulty moving, he would turn her over regularly. This kind of life lasted for several years. In order to treat his mother's illness, he lived frugally and scrimped on food and clothing, but now he was still in a situation where his sisters came to denounce the collection of money. Xiao An believes that the three sisters have already married and have not fulfilled their support obligations, so married women are not eligible for distribution.

Xiao An’s eldest sister Xiao Fangni said that her brother Xiao An had been working in Changde in his early years, and only returned to Anxiang in recent years. When the sisters were away from home, the burden of taking care of the mother fell on her alone. At the same time, the sisters of the Xiao family said that before their mother became ill, she did not need special care. At that time, her brother Xiao An was doing shopping and often worked in other places. In recent years, her mother only needed care from others after she developed Alzheimer's disease. Regarding their brother Xiao An's behavior, they shouted that his brother had no regard for family ties.

My mother’s will suddenly appears, how should the property be divided?

Xiao An saw that the three sisters had to divide the demolition money. At his wits' end, he recalled a will left by his mother 11 years ago. It turned out that Xiao An had been married twice and had a son and a daughter. Xiao An's mother had a deep relationship with her grandson, so she left a will to her grandson during her lifetime. Xiao An's ex-wife Chen Xiaoke also said that 11 years ago, when her son returned home from a long trip, her missing grandma went home to visit her only grandson. Under this situation, grandma made a will to give her property to her beloved grandson, but the Xiao sisters did not recognize the will.

Chen Xiaoke said that the will was dictated by Xiao An’s mother and written by her mother, with her friends as witnesses. Later, after her son left home, this will was kept in her hands. She admitted that although she had divorced Xiao An that year, her son, as the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, had been particularly cared for by her grandma since he was a child. She understood the Xiao family sisters' doubts about the authenticity of the will, but the facts could not be changed.

The Xiao sisters believe that when they were growing up, the three sisters were just like their mother, shouldering the responsibilities and burdens of the family since childhood. It was a natural thing to divide their father's inheritance, but this sudden The three sisters could not accept the will. Xiao An's brother-in-law said that they were not completely unfilial as brother-in-law Xiao An said. As children, it was their duty to support the elderly, but their family was in Changde and could not visit their mother-in-law in time. Eleven years ago, there was no news of demolition, and the house was old and dilapidated. Now faced with a huge amount of money for demolition, they did not expect that the four brothers and sisters would fight fiercely.

During the subsequent mediation, Xiao An’s ex-wife Chen Xiaoke said that in recent years she had seen the difficulty and bitterness of her ex-husband Xiao An. Although she had a will in her hand, their mother was no longer there. , the daughters still have the right to share the property, and she hopes that the dispute between Xiao An and her sisters can end peacefully. The community director also said that Xiao An did bear a large part of the responsibility for supporting his mother during her illness. However, the name on the real estate certificate belongs to him and his mother, and the siblings have the right to allocate part of it.

In the end, after mediation, Xiao An still insisted on his own idea and was unwilling to divide the portion of the million-dollar real estate left by his mother among the three sisters. He believed that he had taken care of his mother when she was ill. He also quit his job and was heavily in debt. All the properties should be given to him. A married woman is not eligible to receive her mother's inheritance. However, this idea was strongly opposed by several sisters. . In the end, the two sides still failed to reach an agreement, and the four sisters were bound to go to court.

The editor's point of view is that family love should not be so unbearable, nor should it end in this way. Xiao An's two marriages failed one after another in his life, and taking care of his mother became an obsession in his heart. In his sixties, he should have relaxed his mind and looked down on gains and losses, but now he is destroying family ties because of the fetters of money. The three sisters, who were Xiao An's only close relatives, turned out to be like this for the sake of money. They also ignored the feelings between their relatives and ignored their family ties. It is really sad. I hope that the four sisters of the Xiao family will think twice before acting. Blood dissolves in water. No matter what happened, it will always be the label of their family relationship. Going to court will only deepen the conflict and turn the once close relatives into strangers. In fact, we always live in blessings and don’t know how to be blessed. We don’t know how to cherish the family love we already have, and we don’t know how to cherish the beauty of the present. When one day we lose it, we realize that it is too late.

So, do you think a married woman is qualified to inherit her mother’s property?
