Lawyer Gennady Karpov explained who the court may deprive of inheritance.

      Inheritance will have to be returned

      The General Director of the legal bureau "Strategy," Gennady Karpov, explained to RIA Novosti: a person can be recognized as an unworthy heir if they intentionally harmed the testator, other heirs, or attempted to forge the last will. A mere family quarrel is not enough for this—court-confirmed evidence is needed. If the court makes such a decision, the citizen will lose the right to the inheritance and will be obliged to return all received property. The lawyer provided a clear example. After the owner's death, one of the heirs takes money and jewelry from the apartment, hiding them from the others to avoid sharing. If intent and violation of the rights of other claimants are proven, this will be a strong basis for recognizing them as unworthy. Relatives whose interests have been harmed can go to court, and this is allowed even after the inheritance has already been formalized. The fact of concealing valuables, confirmed by witness testimonies or other evidence, usually convinces the court to side with the deprived heirs.
