On the afternoon of September 18th, the Dao Hua Law Firm, in collaboration with the Luohu Party and Mass Service Center, held a special lecture on “Wealth Inheritance and Will Writing” at the Luohu Party and Mass Service Center in Futian District.

Tang Yunhong, a lawyer, was invited as the lecturer. Starting with the basic definition of a will, she elaborated on the six legal forms of wills, including handwritten, dictated, printed, oral, recorded, and notarized wills, and deeply analyzed the crucial role of notarized wills in maintaining family harmony and ensuring the orderly inheritance of property. Tang Yunhong pointed out that “as a formal and effective method of property inheritance granted by law, notarized wills not only clearly express personal wishes but also have the credibility of the state, which can effectively ensure that the testator's wishes are properly and actually fulfilled.”

In the lecture, Tang Yunhong combined three specific cases hosted by the Dao Hua Law Firm, and through plain and easy-to-understand language, demonstrated step by step how the Dao Hua Law Firm assists and guides clients in achieving their claims in the face of different types of will disputes, including due diligence, evidence organization, and scheme design. This included content that the audience was concerned about, such as the validity of wills, how to inherit small property houses, and how to safeguard one's legitimate rights and interests through notarized wills, allowing the audience to have a deeper understanding of wills.

At the end of the lecture, Tang Yunhong specially set up a question and answer session. At that time, an elderly man raised a question: "I have only one son and no siblings. Do I still need to go through notarized inheritance in such a case?" In response, Tang Yunhong said: "When sole children face inheritance of property, they often have to go through the trouble of collecting documents and materials to prove that they are sole children due to the need for relationship proof from related registration units. After going through notarized inheritance, they can “get it done in one step" with a low-cost notary fee. Tang Yunhong also patiently and meticulously answered other questions raised by the audience.

"Some people ask me, why am I willing to delve into the field of inheritance law for many years when there are only a few articles about will inheritance in the Civil Code?" In fact, each will embodies the testator's disposition of his lifelong property. Only by being legally protected from the moment of making a will can the testator's wishes and expectations for his family be passed down. Little does one know that many family members have fallen out and split up, starting with a thin will.
