But death is inevitable and involves certain legal acts, including the distribution of the inheritance of the deceased heir.
But when there is no will, it is easy to divide the inheritance among many relatives.
In this article, we will pay attention to the special features of the inheritance of heirs such as grandchildren, who are the heirs of which line of law? In what cases can they become the sole owners of the desired inheritance?
Which line of heirs do grandchildren belong to?
Asking if grandchildren are heirs after grandma's death, there's a clear answer – yes.They may claim a portion of the property on an equal basis with the other relatives of the deceased, as well as the entire estate, but certain legal conditions must be met.
Is the grandson considered to be a direct heir? No, he is not; the grandson is not considered to be an independent heir; he is not part of either the first or the second or the third line of succession.
The overall order of succession according to the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is as follows:
- First, children, parents and spouses;
- The second is full and incomplete brothers and sisters, grandparents.
- The third is uncles and aunts.
- The heir's grandson and their descendants will inherit the property according to the right of submission.
- The right to inherit property by grandchildren is enshrined in the rule of the Russian Civil Code, which specifies the heirs of the first line.
- In fact, grandchildren can be included in the first line of succession, but only under certain conditions with respect to the spouses, children and parents of the deceased heir.
In what case do grandchildren inherit?
Grandkids may receive the estate of the heir, either by will or by law.It's happening in the order of the show.
So grandchildren are descendants of the heirs' children, and they can inherit in certain cases instead of their parents, the children of the deceased.
If the testator expressly prohibited the inheritance from being inherited by his grandchildren, they would not be able to take possession of it, even by virtue of the right of representation.
Legacy of grandchildren
So, if the will was not written by the testator in life, the grandchildren can inherit by law in three situations:
- By right of submission;
- In the case of a genetic transmission;
- By right of dependency.
The right of submission implies that by the time the first line inherits, all the heirs are already dead.
At the time of his death, neither his wife nor his children, nor his parents are alive, but he has a living grandson.
If, however, the heirs of the first line of succession have died before the heir ' s inheritance has been registered, but have expressed the wish to be the heir at the time of the opening of the inheritance, the grandchildren will inherit the property in the order of the heir ' s transmission; this possibility is provided for in article 1156 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
In addition, the shares of the inheritance of the deceased grandparents may be:
- If they were dependants of grandparents;
- If they were living together with the deceased in the same territory;
- If they cared for the dead in the last months of his life.
In order to determine whether a grandson is dependent, it is necessary that the last year of his or her grandson live at the expense of his or her grandparents ' resources.
In order to prove the care of a sick pensioner prior to his death, it is necessary that such assistance be provided by the grandson during the last six months prior to his death.
The inheritance of the grandchildren in such situations shall be equal to that of the heirs of the first generation; and if the deceased has one son and one grandson, they shall share the property equally.
Legacy inheritance by grandkids
In order to obtain its share of the estate specified in the will, it must be certified by a notary.If the will is not established by a notary, the grandchildren will be able to claim inheritance under the law on general grounds.
- If a will left all his property to his grandchild but had first-instance relatives at the time of his death, the latter may appeal against the will in court on the basis of a legitimate right to a compulsory share.
- In such a case, the mandatory share of inheritance will be calculated as half of the share due under the standard calculation.
- In a court challenge to a will by a first-instance relative, the compulsory interest is first taken from the unstated estate, and only then, if it is lacking, from the willed property.
It is possible to deprive grandchildren of their inheritance by recognizing them as unworthy heirs; this possibility is provided for in article 1117 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and can be invoked by first-line relatives in order to obtain all the inheritance of the heir.
It is possible to recognize the grandson as an unworthy heir on the following grounds:
- The commission of deliberate acts against the life or health of the deceased;
- Obstruction of the last will of the testator;
- Trying to increase their share of the inheritance illegally;
- To attempt to diminish the rights of other heirs.
It is only through the courts that a decision is taken to declare the heirs unworthy.
Order of inheritance by grandchildren in 2023
The grandchildren, like other relatives of the deceased who are entitled to claim his inheritance, are required to perform a number of specified inheritance actions in order to obtain the property he wills.
Formulation of an application for inheritance
The statement should contain information of the following nature:
- Name of notary who opened the inheritance case;
- Information on the heir;
- Information on the heir, indicating his date and place of death;
- Information on inherited property.
A declaration must be made in two copiesOne will be given to the notary, the second officer of the notary will mark his receipt, which will serve as proof to his grandson that he has made his inheritance on time.
Succession documents
If there is a will, it must also be presented to the notary, together with his passport and the testator ' s death documents.
If the inheritance of the grandson is carried out in accordance with the right of submission, the following must be provided:
- Evidence of the relationship between the deceased heir and the heir ' s parents;
- Evidence of a relationship between the grandchildren and his parents that comes from the deceased children.
These may be passports, various certificates, and even court decisions.
If, on the other hand, the grandson inherits because of the fact that the first-line heirs are found to be incompetent, another package of documents will need to be collected, in particular:
- Documents confirming the dependency status of the grandson vis-à-vis the heir;
- Documents confirming the incapacity of the first-line heirs.
This will require the collection of medical certificates, since the fact of incapacity must be proved during the examination of the heir.
A notary would have to pay a State duty for his work, and if he required assistance in writing, requesting and otherwise doing so, those services would be paid separately at notarial rates.
Can grandchildren give up their inheritance?
There are two ways in which a grandson can give up his inheritance:
- By applying to the notary;
- By not acting upon the inheritance.
If there is no initiative to inherit, this will be considered a ground for removing the heir from the inheritance.
And if you do not have the right to make such a decision, you may have a bequest on your part, and you may have a bequest on your part, and you may have a bequest on your part.
If the grandson is the heir of the will, he may give up his share in favour of one of the heirs.This rule does not apply to cases where there are sub-inheritors.
Judicial practice
Claims for a compulsory share of the inheritance, which had been bequeathed to the grandchildren, were quite common, and the courts had to satisfy them, since that was expressly stated in the law.
An example of removing a grandson from inheritance as an unworthy heir may be the following situation:The grandson applied to the notary for a portion of the inheritance of the deceased grandmother, which was to be paid to his father, who had already died, and the father died in a correctional colony where he served time for the murder of his mother, who was the heir in the case.
The father of the young man was found to be unworthy by the judgement of the court, and he had no right to inherit from his father, nor was he able to inherit from his grandmother, even though he did not desire to die, nor did he communicate with his father for a long time.
The process of inheritance is a complex one in which the wishes and legitimate possibilities of a large number of heirs are intertwined.
The grandchildren in this struggle have no privileged position; they are forced to inherit property only at the expense of the first-line heirs.
Grandkids are the heirs of what line after Grandma's death, Grandpa?
This state of affairs regularly raises questions, and in this article we will explain in detail how inheritance takes place after grandparents and what its characteristics are.
To begin with, let's repeat the foundations. People inherit in two ways:
- According to the willThe heir has the right to make a bequest of property to anyone: relatives, friends, neighbours, even legal persons.
- According to the lawIf a will has not been made, the heirs are "constructed in line" and the closest relatives, among whom the grandchildren are not, have priority, which seems strange at first glance, but has a logical explanation.
Priority of inheritance
If the grandchildren inherit by will
Any lawyer will confirm that a will inheritance is the easiest way to process. A person does not even need to prove a relationship (which is not always easy because it often requires the receipt of archival documents in other regions). A passport that matches the name in the will is sufficient.
And if you do not have any reason to challenge a will, and you do not have any heirs, then it is only a simple matter.
ATTENTION: Inheritive disputes within the family are a fairly common phenomenon in real life, and they are not always won by the right person, but by the one who is better prepared to turn the situation in his own favour.
Therefore, if any of your relatives have initiated an investigative dispute, it is important to secure legal support as soon as possible.
The assistance of an experienced lawyer or lawyer in inheritance cases would help to assert his or her legitimate rights and obtain what was due.
If the grandchildren inherit by law (right of submission)
To begin with, let us clarify a question that has already been raised at the beginning of the article. Why are the grandchildren not mentioned at all among the participants in the line of succession? Because they include even distant relatives like cousins or their children. Why are the grandchildren, in fact, the direct heirs on board?
Of course, there is no special prejudice to the rights of grandchildren (and even their great-grandchildren) on the list of heirlooms.
The logic of succession is that, in addition to the spouses and parents we're going to put behind brackets, the children of the inheritor have the children, the grandchildren are the children of the children, that is, they're going to inherit most of their parents.
So, in the end, the a priori will receive the property of grandparents, but only as part of the inheritance received from their parents.
Thus, in theory, grandchildren may be assigned to the heirs of the first line, but they are not the direct successors to the heir; direct grandchildren shall inherit without will only if their parents have already died.
I mean, by the right of submission, and by the right of representation, the heir is entitled not to the same share as the other representatives, but to the share that would belong to the direct heir.
I mean, a few Sibling grandchildren share one share of their father or mother equally.
To show more clearly how this works, let us consider a few examples based on actual inheritance practices.
Example 1
CitizenAHis parents and wife died before him, i.e. two children and three grandchildren remained in the first line.Ahis grandchildren have no right to inherit his property.
Example 2
Deceased citizenAHe was the father of two children.BandC. BHe died a long time ago, leaving two young children (grandkids A).CTwo children also grew up, but he's still alive.
Two childrenAThey are the only heirs of the first line.BThere is no living, and the right to inherit is passed to his children, and they will receive a share.BAnd they'll share it with each other.Cdo not have the right to inheritAh,Because their father will inherit his share of the inheritance.
Example 3
CitizenAHer husband, her parents and her three children died before her, five grandchildren were left, all five grandchildren would share the inheritance equally if there were no live direct heirs.
Of course, these examples, which are called "sterile," are usually much more complex than real inheritance situations.
For example, a part of the inheritance may be bequeathed, and the rest is legally divided, or there are heirs that are subject to a compulsory share.
Inheritive transmission
The vague terms "transmittent" and "trassmissar" in article 1156 of the Russian Criminal Code, which regulates the inheritance transmission, do not mean very simple things. "Transmitent" is an heir who died before he entered the inheritance rights. "Trassissar" is his heir, his successor.
If a similar situation has occurred in your family, it is important to remember that:
- The right to inherit by transmission must be fulfilled within six months of the death of the first heir (or a valid cause of the delay)
- The original heir must declare his wish to accept the inherited property; if he has not done so before his death, the conditions for transmission do not come, and the inheritance takes place in the normal legal order, according to the lines
- The transmissary may inherit only if, at the time of death, the transmitte has not been deprived of the right to inherit (by will of the transmittent, by law, or as a result of his or her own waiver of his or her inheritance rights)
Example 4
A deceased citizen without willAThere was only one son.Bwhich, in turn, had two children.BHe became the only heir of his father, but died shortly thereafter, without any will or inheritance.
GrandkidsAThey do not have the right to inherit him, since at the time of his grandfather ' s death his father was still alive and was the sole heir.
However, they are entitled to inherit by transmission if they turn to a notary in a timely manner and there is no legal basis for depriving them of their right to inherit.
Mandatory share of inheritance
In exceptional cases, grandchildren may receive directly a compulsory share of their grandparents ' inheritance.
This is the case where the minor, disabled or disabled (group I and II) grandchildren were dependent on the heir.
These categories of citizens may claim a compulsory share, even if they are not specified in the will or are deprived of their inheritance by a decision of the heir.
And the inheritance shall be half of that which the heirs receive, and the inheritance shall be divided into two.
Example 5
Along with a dead citizen.A14-year-old grandson, son of her daughter, livedBwho led an antisocial life, for which the mother deprived her of her inheritance by writing a will in favour of her second daughter,C.
After the death of his grandmother, his grandson may not inherit either by submission or transmission (since his mother is alive and, in principle, deprived of the right to inherit).AisC.
However, since the minor child was dependent on his grandmother, he was entitled to a compulsory share, which would be 50 per cent of the amount that he would have received at the introduction or transmission if his mother had the right to inherit.
That's 1/4 grandma's property.
When grandchildren don't inherit?
The children shall not inherit from the will unless it is specified therein; or they are expressly indicated in the will as persons who are deprived of their inheritance by the will of the testator; and Allah is All-Knower, All-Knower.
Grandkids are the heirs of which line of law, the heirs of the first line after the death of Grandma, Grandpa.
At first glance, it seems difficult to understand the order of succession, for example, there are no grandchildren among the many relatives divided by law. Can grandchildren and granddaughters inherit after the death of their grandparents? What does Russian inheritance legislation say about this?
All possible situations related to the inheritance of grandchildren can be conditionally divided into two categories:
- Grandparents left a will order indicating their granddaughters or grandchildren;
- No will, inheritance is legal.
Priority of inheritance
- If the grandkids inherit by will
From a procedural point of view, the existence of a will greatly facilitates inheritance. If grandkids are specified in the will of their grandparents, they will be guaranteed the portion due to them, regardless of the existence of other applicants, in addition, they will not have to prove a related relationship – only a will and an identity card.
However, if the grandkids or granddaughters are not listed in the will, they will receive nothing even if they could inherit under the law (by the right of submission), with the exception of the compulsory portion, as discussed below.
Disputing the will in court proceedings is a complex procedure that can only be initiated with the help of a professional lawyer and reliable evidence of the testator's incapacity and invalidity of the document. Read more in the article "A challenge to the will to inherit after death".
- If the grandchildren inherit by law (right of submission)
In cases where a will has not been made or has been challenged and declared null and void by the court, inheritance shall take place according to the law, in accordance with the rules laid down in civil law.
According to the SC of the Russian Federation, the first line of heirs includes the husband or wife, the father and mother, as well as the children.The grandchildren also belong to the first line, but are not direct successors..
They can only obtain inheritance from the right of submission – instead of their own parents, the children of the heir if they have already died (before the heir or with him).
In other words, if the children of grandparents are still alive, they will inherit if they are already dead — instead of children, the possibility of inheritance goes to grandchildren and granddaughters.
To better understand the succession of grandchildren after the death of grandparents, consider examples.
Example 1
A citizen of Kazakov died without leaving a will, with three children and five grandchildren left.
The first heirs will be the three children of Kazakov — as long as they are alive, their grandchildren have no right of representation and cannot claim any inheritance claim.
If Kazakov had other close relatives, such as his wife, father, and mother, they would also inherit as first heirs, but this does not change the essence of the matter – in the case of the surviving children of their grandchildren, they have no inheritance rights.
Example 2
She had two sons, one of whom had died long ago, and four grandchildren, two of whom were children of a living son, and the other two were children of a dead son.
In this case, the following relatives may claim inheritance: a living son (as a direct descendant) and two children of the deceased son — grandchildren (as descendants of the right of submission).
The children of a dead son will inherit not just as a direct offspring, but a parent's share; the children of a living son are not entitled to claim anything.
Example 3
At the time of her death, Polakova, who had not left a will, had already lost her children, two daughters and a son. The husband, father and mother had not been alive for a long time, but five grandchildren had survived, in which case they would all be equal heirs after their grandmother's death.
Of course, it is much more difficult in real life, and there are different kinds of relatives as applicants for inheritance, both by law and by will, by direct law and by the right of representation, and there is also the concept of inheritance transmission.
Inheritive transmission
Inheritive transmission is another statutory method of inheritance by grandchildren after the death of grandparents, if direct heirs – children – die not earlier but later by the heir, unlike the right of representation, which applies only in the case of legal succession, the transmission also extends to bequest orders.
The simplest way to explain the principle of the use of a genetic transmission is by example.
Example 4
At the time of his death, his only son was alive, but after a short time, he also died before he could inherit.
Since the death of the direct progeny did not occur earlier, but later on, the heir, the grandchildren could not inherit the right of submission, but they were subject to the provisions of the law on inheritance transmission.
Thus, the grandchildren of Timsluuk acquire a legal share in the inheritance.
Mandatory share of inheritance
The right of grandchildren to a compulsory share in the inheritance is a middle ground between inheritance by law and by will. It arises for grandchildren who are not specified in the will (or are directly deprived of the will), but under the law they may claim a share of the inheritance on the basis that they are minors who are incapable of work (the disabled in group I or group II), incapable dependants of the deceased grandfather or granddaughter.
The compulsory share will be half the share that a grandchild would receive in a common inheritance. To calculate the share, the total value of the inheritance must be determined and divided by the number of first-line heirs by law or by willing heirs. The amount received must be divided in half, and that will be the amount of the compulsory share.
When the grandchildren don't inherit?
In the case of a will, grandchildren may be deprived of the will of their grandparents, as expressly stated in the will.
And if you do not have the right to inherit, then the children of the inheritor will be deprived of their inheritance if they are found by the court to be unworthy.
Outcome
Grandkids or granddaughters, unless specified in the willing order, are not direct heirs to the first line of law, and therefore are granted inheritance rights only under certain conditions provided for by civil law.
The most common method of inheritance by grandchildren is the right of submission.
It was most difficult to obtain a compulsory share of the inheritance on the basis of dependency status, since it was extremely difficult to prove that a dependent person was a dependent.
Grandkids are heirs, what line after grandma's death, grandpa?
The final will of the deceased, certified by a notary or in accordance with the order of priority prescribed by the law of the Russian Federation, is considered the principal document, and its instructions are followed in the first place, and after the transfer of the property mentioned in the document, the remaining property of the heir is divided.
And if you do not have the right to inherit the property of the deceased, then you will not be asked to inherit the property of the deceased unless you have no heirs in the previous category, or they have renounced their rights.
What line of succession are the grandchildren?
In accordance with the law, grandchildren who have not mentioned them in their will may not claim inheritance when there are first-stage representatives, but there are moments when they can obtain part of the deceased's property:
- as applicants for a compulsory share if for more than one year they have been in the care of their grandparents;
- In the order of submission, if the direct heir died before the death of his parent.
Example: After the death of citizen P., his property could be claimed by a son and daughter who had two children each.
However, his son died long before his father ' s death, so his children inherited his grandfather ' s property by right of submission.
In this case, the share was as follows: half was given to a daughter, and the other half was divided between two grandchildren, the children of the deceased son, who received the share of their father.
When may grandchildren be denied the right to inherit?
In making a will, grandparents may, by their will and direct instructions, deprive their grandchildren of their inheritance, even if they have the right to it as foster parents of the deceased parent.
In addition, the grandson will not be able to obtain his grandfather ' s property, even if he has not made a will and the parent is no longer alive, when one of them (the grandson or his parent) has been declared an unworthy heir.
And sometimes a grandchild can't get an inheritance, even if he was dependent on his grandparents, because it's very difficult to prove it. If you have a situation like this, you should consult a lawyer from Legalsphere, who will probably be able to help you.
The procedure for inheritance by a grandson
The right to inherit is not an obligation, and the grandson may decide whether to obtain a portion of the property of the deceased or not; every citizen has the right to give up his share of the inheritance.
Why is this happening? Most people don't want the property of a dead man who has a lot of debt in his life.
Under the law, the obligations of the deceased are transferred along with the rights of the heir in the same proportion as the property received.
Allah is the Bestower of Retribution, the Lord of Resurrection, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, the Most Merciful, the Lord of the Universe, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful.
When might a lawyer be needed?
If you cannot prove your right to your grandfather's inheritance, consult with a literate, legally bound, specialist, such as the lawyer of the company Legal Society, the professional will decide how best to fight for his rights after he has read all the documents and has found out all the facts of the case.
If you're not sure what you're doing, we can represent your rights at any instance, because sometimes it's very important to be able to react quickly and to replicate the opponent's lines, and if the case goes to trial, we can defend your rights here, and we can do everything we can to get justice to be done.
Grandkids are the heirs of what line of law after death: Grandparents, Grandparents.
In order to prevent property disputes relating to the acquisition of property goods by inheritance, the legislation established the procedure for the transfer of property on the basis of family lines, and the grandchildren of which line of succession were set out in the legislation of the Russian Federation.
In addition to the transmission of the inheritance by line, it is also possible to obtain material benefits in the form of a will.
Priority of inheritance
The Civil Code of the Russian Federation is the basic document in which the inheritance of material goods after death takes place. Section 5 of the Act contains the basic provisions on the procedure for the transfer of property by inheritance. In particular, article 1142 provides information on the succession of the heirs to which the grandchildren belong.
Attention!Grandparents can leave property to their granddaughters only on will, and it is also permissible to transfer material goods to their grandchildren under the law of inheritance.
If the grandchildren inherit by will
The will is an official document showing the last will of the deceased to dispose of his property after death.
As is the case with inheritance, the notary does not take into account the number of applicants for property under the law.
All persons who are listed in the will are guaranteed a share of their wealth and there is no need to prove affinity between the grandfather and the grandson.
If the will is considered to be legal, the distribution of the property will be made only in the framework of this document; no legal priority will be taken into account.But there are two exceptions to this rule:
- The right to a compulsory share of real estate;
- Refusal by one heir of his property rights in favour of other relatives.
If you wish to give up your share of the inheritance, a written statement will be made to the notary.
If the grandchildren inherit by law (right of submission)
Whether a grandchild has the right to inherit after the death of his grandmother depends on the circumstances of the transfer of wealth; the legitimacy of the line is effective not only in the absence of a will, but also if:
- Promulgation order declared null and void
- The authenticity of the document was later denied by the courts.
The transfer of values after deceased relatives within a legal line means a consistent distribution of wealth, i.e. if the beneficiaries of the first line do not exist, the possibility of ownership of the property is transferred to the second line, and all values are shared among the participants in the same line in equal parts.
Article 1142 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that only children (biological, adopted), parents (who are not deprived of parental rights) and official spouses (with whom the marriage relationship has not been terminated before death) may claim property in the first phase.
Part 2 of the rule provides that the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the deceased may claim material goods only on the basis of the right of representation, i.e. when their parents are unable to obtain value or renounce their inheritance rights.
Example 1
The deceased Ivanov had two sons, one of whom already had children, and before the death of Ivanov, he had not left a will, so the notary gathered all the relatives of the deceased, drawing up a list of applicants for material goods, and no other close relatives had Ivanov.
And if any of your sons die, then your sons are your children, and your sons are your children; surely Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Thus, it is not possible for grandchildren to claim the inheritance of their grandmothers with their living parents.
Example 2
After the death of Petrov, there was no will, so the distribution of wealth was accepted as a legal inheritance, and Petrov had a minor son; another child died ten years earlier, leaving two daughters behind; and there were no other close relatives left by Petrov.
In accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the notary distributed the inheritance in equal parts between the minor son and the two grandchildren of Petrov.
Example 3
Before his death, Kaminsky made a will in which he recorded the will, to whom and in whom, and in what proportion, to deliver the goods, but after the death of Kamina, the will was quashed and declared null and void.
The notary therefore drew up a list of applicants for value under the law; the list of close relatives claiming first-line benefits included the former wife of Kamina, an adult daughter, and two grandchildren.
In such a situation, grandchildren would not be able to claim property because the property would be divided between the husband and daughter of the deceased Kaminsky.
So whether a grandchild can claim inheritance after his grandmother's death depends on whether their parents are alive; only in the event of the death or absence of the deceased's spouse, parents and children will the grandchildren inherit.
The exception is that the father who claims to be paid gives up his share of the property in favour of his child, in which case the property will be given to the grandchildren.
Inheritive transmission
Whether the grandchildren are the heirs of the first line is reflected in the provisions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The inheritance rights are transferred to them only on the basis of the right of submission. The alternative way of obtaining the values of the grandchildren is through the institution of the inheritance transmission, which means that the grandchildren will be the owners of the share of property claimed by their parents.
But values will only pass to the possession of grandchildren by transmission if their parents have died before they can assume their inheritance rights.
Example 4
The citizen of Poliakov A died on 1 January 2018, leaving the wife of Polakov K., an adult daughter of Poliakov O., and two grandchildren. According to the law, relatives have six calendar months to inherit. When the inheritance was discovered, all material goods were equally divided between Polakov K. and Polakov O., 1/2 shares of the inheritance.
Which line of heirs are the grandchildren?
Web developer, I love drawing and reading motivational books on self-development, but my family is the most important thing I have.
Legends by Law: What turn did the grandchildren and great-grandchildren take?
We have previously considered that the heirs of the law are divided into five stages: the grandchildren are not listed among the heirs of the law because there is a concept of inheritance by the right of representation, because children cannot be ahead of their parents by the law, but putting grandchildren, in the event of their parents ' death, in turn with their aunts and uncles, is also wrong; therefore, in this case, inheritance by the right of representation gives more rights to grandchildren.
Article 1266 of the Civil Code of Ukraine defines succession in accordance with the right of submission: "The grandchildren and the great-grandchildren of the inheritor shall inherit the portion of the inheritance which would have been due under the law of their mother, father, grandmother and grandfather if they had been alive at the time of the discovery of the inheritance."
In order for grandchildren to be able to claim their inheritance rights, a situation is needed in which:
- The children of the inheritor have passed away before the heir.
- The children of the inheritor refuse to inherit in favour of their children, i.e. grandchildren.
For example, the heir has two sons, one of whom died; his sons also have children; if the heir does not leave a will, his son and the grandson whose father died are the first to inherit by law.
So the grandson in this case gets the same share as the other heirs of the first line of inheritance.
Conversely, if the heir bequeaths his property exclusively to his grandson, the other heirs will not be able to claim it.
Let's remind you, we've told you before what questions a notary needs to ask in writing a will.
Thus, article 1241 of the Civil Code provides that minor, minor and adult children who are unable to work shall inherit, regardless of the content of the will, half of the inheritance that would have been due to them at the time of their legal succession (compulsory share).
In this case, the adult relatives of the deceased who are capable of work are not entitled to a compulsory share of the inheritance.
The tax is 5 per cent of the cost of the estate for heirs who are not members of the first degree family.
It is noteworthy that the heirs ' grandchildren and non-affiliated citizens pay income tax at the same rate.
Have grandchildren been assigned to any line of succession?
A just division of the deceased's wealth is achieved through the execution of the latter's will.
Grandkids, what is the turn of succession? This question concerns many Russians.
The Legacy of Grandkids — What's the turn?
Everyone can, in life, determine to whom and in what shares their assets will end up after death.
Among other things, the owner may leave the property to the descendants through a generation, disregarding the children ' s property interests.
Among other things, the testator may:
- To include one or more grandchildren in future successors on an equal basis with children;
- To appoint any direct progeny as the sole successor;
- And distribute the gains among the descendants in equal and unequal proportions.
- to place inheritance under the condition that the grandson be given certain items or a pre-defined sum of money (a bequest).
This is interesting: a grandchild can be appointed or appointed an heir. In the first case, the call for inheritance will be made by the death of the testator, and in the second, by the rejection of the deceased's assets by the primary heir.
The grandson may claim the deceased ' s property as a sub-appointed person if the testator has survived a primary successor or the latter:
- Not passively accepted the deceased ' s belongings for six months;
- refused by signing the relevant documents with the notary;
- was found to be unworthy (the fact must be determined by the court).
Recognition of the primary successor as unworthy is possible if the latter:
- Attempted against the life or health of the testator or his loved ones;
- Wickedly evaded the contents of a bequest in need of assistance;
- By unlawful means, he tried to remove other persons from the inheritance: hiding the death, forging documents, hiding official papers (such facts must be established by law enforcement orders or court verdicts).
Intestate inheritance of grandchildren
When considering the question of succession by descendants, it is important to clearly separate the two concepts:
- Presentation;
- transmission.
Presentation: On this basis, the descendants of the descendent acquire the material benefits of the deceased in a situation where his father/mother died before the death of the heir. If the deceased grandparents had several children, the grandson is called upon to inherit at the same time as his aunts/uncles, i.e. together with other priority successors.
The possibility of inheritance on this basis arises in the case of the grandson when the father/mother (the first-ranking successor) survived the grandmother/grandfather but died before the end of the six-month period of the inheritance. The transmission requirements are applicable in a situation of legal uncertainty: the deceased father/mother did not accept the property but did not abandon it.
- If the deceased parent inherits, legally or in fact, the assets will form part of his own heritage;
- If the parent has given up his life, his children will no longer be able to claim the property of his grandfather/grandmother.
Note that the person who inherits the transmission has three months to carry out the inheritance.
The time limit rule is implemented as follows:
If a person whose grandchild is called upon to inherit dies three months or more before the end of the general six-month term for the inheritance, that period shall not be reduced.
Heirs to the first line after Grandma died.
- Each succession may be inherited if there are no members of the line preceding it (they have abandoned the inheritance or no inheritance at all), and in addition, grandchildren who were born or conceived before the death of the testator will be invited to inherit.
- In order to avoid the rapid sale of property, the heir may deprive his direct descendants of their inheritance.
- In the will, however, there may be a reservation for the heirs.
For example, in order for a son or daughter not to be on the street soon, the heir may assign certain duties to the heirs of the will (article 1137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
- This usually includes the right to use inherited housing or part thereof.
- Consequently, if the heir accepts the property of his grandfather/grandmother, he cannot expel his own parent.
- At a minimum, he must provide a room for a family member deprived of his inheritance.
- Different relatives may be applicants for inheritance, both by law and by will, by direct law and by right of submission.
In addition, there is the concept of an inheritance transmission, and the inheritance transmission of an inheritance transmission is another legally prescribed way for grandchildren to inherit after the death of their grandparents, if direct heirs – children – died not earlier but later than the heir.
Unlike the right of submission, which applies only to inheritance under the law, the transmission also applies to bequest orders.

- The most likely beneficiaries of the first line of succession are those who are the closest and closest to the heirs.
- These include the children of the deceased, his parents and his spouse.
- Grandkids and granddaughters don't get to the full in the first place.
- But they treat priority heirs as subjects of the right of submission.
- So in a particular situation, they may inherit on an equal basis with or in place of the first-line persons, if they do not appear.
- As heirs, grandchildren cannot obtain property before it is offered to their ascending family.
- A compulsory share in the inheritance of a grandchild may be obtained.

It is also possible to share the property if the grandson is an incapable dependant of the deceased and the parents are entitled to the will.
In the will, you can specify not only the shares, but also the particulars, whether the grandkids can claim the inheritance of the grandmother at the death of the father. The death of the main applicant is the basis for the transition of rights to its flows.
If there are grandchildren, they become direct heirs; when there are more than one heirs, the property of the grandmother after her death is divided equally among all by oral agreement between the parties, where the share of each is specified.
If there is no indication in the document of the amount of each property, it is equally divided; the heirs accept its assets on presentation; it is important to remember that the inheritance includes persons who were under the custody of the deceased; if there is no consensus, the dispute is brought before the courts.
For the rest of the estate, the woman made no will, and the sons of the deceased woman applied for inheritance, and it may happen that the grandchildren lose their inheritance, even if the will speaks of their share.
