Is it okay to refuse to receive the estate in the case of an oral will?
Pursuant to Article 620 of the Code above, the refusal to receive an estate is as follows: 1. An heir may disclaim an inheritance, unless such disclaimer is for the purpose of avoiding the performance of its property obligations to other persons. 2. A disclaimer of an inheritance must be made in writing. A person disclaiming must notify the other heirs and the person authorized to distribute the estate. 3. The disclaimer of an estate must be expressed before the time of inherit distribution. Accordingly , since your uncle does not want to receive from your father without having to shirk any obligations, your uncle has the right to refuse to receive this part if the instructions are formed into a legal will. If this warning is not a legal will as above, then you will not be able to receive this part of the house because your uncle is not the first heir according to the provisions of Point a, Clause 1, Article 651 of the Civil Code 2015. (The first line of inheritance includes: wife, husband, biological father, natural mother, adoptive father, adoptive mother, biological child, adopted child of the deceased) Best regards!
