Secondly, if there are no children, it depends on whether there are other heirs in the first order. If the elderly have a spouse, the spouse can inherit, and if the elderly have parents who are alive, the parents can also inherit. Of course, the so-called childless must be childless, stepchildren and adopted children. If there are no biological children, but there are stepchildren and adopted children, stepchildren and adopted children can also inherit.
Thirdly, if the elderly have no children and their spouses and parents are not alive, it depends on whether the elderly have brothers and sisters, grandparents and grandparents, and if so, they can inherit. If a brother or sister dies, but the brother or sister has children, for example, the elder has a nephew, the elder's brother or sister's immediate children can go to subrogation inheritance instead of their parents.
Finally, if none of the above-mentioned personnel are available, the person who supports the elderly can ask for a discretionary share of the inheritance. For example, when a neighbor dies supporting the elderly, he can claim a discretionary share of the estate. Without these people, the old man's legacy would belong to the state.
