Inheritance of money

A sudden death occured to my friend's family. Every one was fighting over her father's assets, even her super far relatives. We know that her father will give everything he has to them if he was still alive but now it became complicated. They are insisting on getting everything and leaving nothing to their family. She was so angry because instead of mourning for her father they are fighting over inheritance.

No Name

Both party will be able to get inheritance from the deceased but the child/children and wife of the deceased will inherit the assets left. Also, if his parents were still alive, they will also be part of the one sharing the inheritance left. This is under a law about what will happen if a person suddenly dies without a will.

Singapore’s statutory laws that regulate repossession can be found in the relevant sections of the Hire-Purchase Act. This states the rules that both parties must follow and adhere to.
