I will tell you 3 stories to prove my point:-
我将通过三个故事来证明我以上的观点:-
1. Ma Qin (f) and Zhou Jian (m) are lovers on campus. Zhou was diagnosed
with leukaemia and cannot attend class. Ma looked after Zhou and after
she had graduated supported Zhou with her salary. When Zhou passed away
Zhou's parents came and accused Ma of converting Zhou's property for her
own use and was unwilling to reimburse the money spent by Ma on Zhou's
funeral from Zhou insurance money.
2. Lu Meng (m) and Tan Lu (f) are a couple living in Singapore. They had
their differences and quarrel quite often. During one quarrel Tan
threatened to jump off their flat. Lu did not dissuade her. Tan jumped
and died. Yet all of Tan's property passes to Lu under Singapore
succession law.
3. Chen Qiang migrated to Singapore and together with Yang Bei started a
company. Due to financial hardship Chen Qiang committed suicide.
Without a will Chen Qiang's widow was only able to deal with Chen
Qiang's shares in the company after the Grant of Letter of
Administration unsteady of immediately had he made a will. By which time
Yang Bei had transferred the money out of the company and absconded
with the moneys.
Do you sympathize with the plight of Ma Qin, the family of Tan Lu and Chen Qiang’s widow in all the aforesaid cases?
The situation could be avoided if the deceased had executed a will
before their death. So it does not matter how young you are or how much
assets you have.
