Can a daughter inherit property?

Chinese tradition is that there is no will, if there is a will, the property is distributed according to the will.

If it is a rural area or somewhere according to the customary division of the family, the main support of the son or child will get a greater share of the distribution of rights and interests, daughters often married, because in support of the elderly generally medium status, not and parents live a long time so you will get a small amount of inheritance distribution of rights. Parents are advised to negotiate or distribute according to local customs, but legally, the daughter is entitled to inherit from her immediate family, depending on the circumstances.

Children have equal inheritance rights to their parents' estates

That is, both sons and daughters have equal rights when they inherit their parents' estates. However, in reality, there are many cases where daughters are deprived of their inheritance rights due to the influence of boys and girls and the feudal ideology of masculinity and femininity. Some parents will not accept the right to marry their daughters if they consider them to be "splashers".

Article 9 of the Inheritance Law states: "Inheritance rights are equal for men and women. Neither village, village, village regulations nor unwritten customs can exclude the application of the law, and citizens' inheritance rights shall be carried out in accordance with the laws of our country.

In order to protect the equal rights of married daughters at the same time, the share of inheritance and succession should be divided according to the actual situation. For example, some married daughters have the capacity and ability to support their parents who have little or no support. Some know that their parents are dead and do not need to inherit when other heirs divide the estate. In such matters, it is generally recognized that it is entitled to inheritance, according to the spirit of rights and duties, without regard to inheritance.
