Marriage is an important event in everyone\u2019s life. To be considered legally married, the essential thing every couple needs to do is to register their marriage. However, the reality shows that many couples are cohabiting as husband and wife but haven\u2019t registered their marriage. So when cohabiting as husband and wife, can the woman inherit property when the husband died? Are there any ways to prove that the remaining person also contributes to their common property?<\/span><\/p>\n

In this Legal Q&A column, let’s join a lawyer specializing in inheritance consulting<\/a> at PL & Partners Law Firm to learn about this topic by answering a question from a reader.<\/span><\/p>\n

The question is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband and I live together but we do not register our marriage. We have <\/em>a<\/em> son but have not registered<\/em> for<\/em> his birth certificate.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I intend to wait until my son <\/em>is<\/em> 1 year old to register h<\/em>is birth<\/em> but unfortunately, my husband passed away 2 months ago.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My husband’s stepchildren <\/em>have <\/em>returned to claim <\/em>his <\/em>inheritance. <\/em>One of <\/em>my husband’s assets<\/em> is the house <\/em>that <\/em>I<\/em>\u2019m<\/em> liv<\/em>ing<\/em> in, which is <\/em>our<\/em> common property. That asset mostly <\/em>comes from <\/em>my money, I am also the one who deposit<\/em>s money<\/em> to buy the house, my husband only contribute<\/em>s<\/em> a small part of the money and <\/em>holds title to<\/em> the house in his name.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So <\/em>can I<\/em> win that house when dividing the inheritance?<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
