164 Court ruled illegitimate child entitled to portion of deceased father's estate 联邦法院裁决私生子女有权共享父亲遗产

164 Court ruled illegitimate child entitled to portion of deceased father's estate 联邦法院裁决私生子女有权共享父亲遗产
 

This is a ruling that affects illegitimate child of a non Muslim father that died without a Will.

Court: Illegitimate child entitled to portion of deceased father's estate (https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/652119)

Mahkamah Persekutuan: Anak luar nikah bukan Islam berhak warisi pusaka mendiang bapa (https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/652123)

In this ruling, Federal Court ruled the word "issue" should cover a child regardless of whether he / she is a legitimate or illegitimate child.

This is different from what I have been trained. I remember illegitimate child can only claim from his / her mother, but not father. But just now when I googled again, it seems like there is another additional requirement, and that is the mother does not has other legitimate child.

On this point, I think I want to pose few questions to Trustee during the next training.

  1. How will the ruling affects the past and future cases of without Will?
  2. Will the ruling affect cases with Will? Let's say a testator has legitimate and illegitimate children, and in his Will he just write "children" to inherit his estate.
  3. During such court case, does all estate being frozen until there is ruling? This is considering the case was brought up in 2015, about 7-8 years for the final ruling.

这个是一项影响没立下遗嘱的非穆斯林父亲的私生子女的判决。

在本判决仲,联邦法院裁定“子嗣”一词必须包括与已故父母有血缘关系的孩子,无论孩子是否合法。

这和我所被教导的有点儿不同。我记得私生子女只能索取亲生母亲的遗产,父亲的不能。但是我刚刚谷歌了一下,原来这里边儿还有一个条件,那就是该名母亲不可有其他的合法子女。

看来,下次有课程的话,我得问问信托公司。

  1. 如此的裁决会如何影响过往以及未来的無遗嘱案件?
  2. 如此的判决会影响有遗嘱的案件嗎?假设说立遗嘱者同时有着合法以及私生子女,而遗嘱只写“子女”可继承财产。
  3. 在这样的法庭案件仲,是否全部的财产都被冻结呢?毕竟本案是从2015年开始,也一直进行了7-8年才下最后判决。
