The speaker discusses the concept of 'legitimate portions' that must be granted to certain heirs, the differences between statutory and testamentary inheritance, and how to calculate these portions. Real-life examples are used to illustrate how inheritance is divided when a will is involved, ensuring that the legitimate portion is respected. The session provides insights into legal practices and practical scenarios, helping students understand the intricacies of inheritance calculations and their application in various situations.

Takeaways

• 😀 Inheritance can be based on statutory law (intestate) or a will (testament), with both types leading to the designation of heirs.
• 😀 Heirs can be classified as 'legitimaris,' entitled to a 'legitimate portion' (LP) from the estate, which cannot be altered by the testator's will.
• 😀 The 'legitimate portion' refers to a guaranteed share of the estate that must be given to certain heirs, particularly those in a direct line of descent (both upwards and downwards).
• 😀 A will (surat wasiat) is a legal declaration from the deceased on how their estate should be distributed. This document can be altered during the testator's lifetime.
• 😀 The testator has the right to change their will at any point, and heirs are entitled to contest the will if they feel their legitimate portions are not respected.
• 😀 The legitimate portion cannot be waived by a will. Even if a will specifies a certain distribution, the rightful heirs (legitimaris) can claim their LP if the will does not respect this portion.
• 😀 If an heir is not born at the time of the testator’s death, they do not have a claim to the estate as a legitimate heir, as they are not present at the time of inheritance.
• 😀 For an estate to be distributed according to a will, heirs must first accept the will's terms. If they object, the legitimate portions of their inheritance are still protected by law.
• 😀 When calculating the inheritance based on a will, the legitimate portion must be considered first before any distribution is made to other heirs or designated beneficiaries.
• 😀 Inheritance problems and conflicts can arise when the will distributes more than the legitimate portion to non-heirs. In such cases, the will must be adjusted to reflect the legal entitlements of the legitimate heirs.

Q & A

What is the difference between intestate inheritance and testamentary inheritance?

Intestate inheritance refers to the distribution of an estate when a person dies without a will, based on the legal code. Testamentary inheritance, on the other hand, occurs when a person dies with a will, and the estate is distributed according to the provisions of that will.

What is the 'legitim porsi' (legitimate portion) in inheritance law?

'Legitim porsi' refers to the fixed portion of an inheritance that must be given to legitimate heirs, particularly those in the direct family line (upward or downward). This portion cannot be altered by a will.

Who is entitled to claim the legitim porsi?

Only heirs in the direct family line (either upward or downward) are entitled to claim the legitim porsi. These are typically children, parents, and sometimes grandchildren, depending on the specific legal framework.

Can a will override the legitim porsi of an heir?

No, a will cannot override the legitim porsi. The legitimate portion must be given to the rightful heirs, and only the remaining portion (free portion) can be distributed according to the will.

What happens if a will gives more than the free portion to a beneficiary?

If a will gives more than the free portion to a beneficiary, the distribution cannot be carried out as stated. The free portion is limited by the portion of the inheritance that is designated for legitimate heirs, which cannot be altered.

What is the concept of 'harta bebas' (free portion) in inheritance?

'Harta bebas' refers to the portion of the deceased's estate that remains after the legitim porsi has been allocated. This portion is free to be distributed according to the deceased's will, as it is not restricted by the legitimate portion requirements.

In the given examples, how is the legitim porsi calculated for heirs?

The legitim porsi is calculated based on the shares the heirs would receive under intestate inheritance. If there is a will, the legitimate portion is calculated first, and any remaining estate is considered the free portion for distribution according to the will.

What happens if an heir refuses their share of the inheritance?

If an heir refuses their share of the inheritance, they may not be entitled to claim their legitimate portion, depending on the laws of inheritance in their jurisdiction. In some cases, they may also lose any claim to the free portion.

How does the inheritance distribution work if there are multiple heirs and a will?

If there are multiple heirs, the estate is divided according to the will, after allocating the legitim porsi. If the will attempts to give more than the free portion, the heirs who are entitled to the legitimate portion may contest the distribution.

How does the presence of a will affect the inheritance calculations?

The presence of a will affects inheritance calculations by specifying how the remaining estate (free portion) should be distributed. However, the will cannot alter the legitimate portion, which must be given to entitled heirs. The will is considered after the legitim porsi has been allocated.
