A Couple Resign to Take Care of the Husband’s Mother – Lawyer Yanming Wu Receives a Banner for Helping them Inherit the Demolition Benefits

\

In order to give his mother a better life in her old age, Mr. Zhou and his wife both resigned from their jobs and even learned Chinese massage skills. The diligent care of Mr. Zhou and his wife was appreciated by the mother. She made a will in which she left Mr. Zhou a two-bedroom apartment that she had gained from a house demolition. After her mother died, Mr. Zhou’s four sisters unexpectedly objected to the will.

In order to successfully inherit the demolition benefits left by his mother, Mr. Zhou filed a lawsuit against his sisters. After accepting the entrustment, Yanming Wu and Auxiliary Counsel Weijie Lv held many conversations with Mr. Zhou and his wife, and listened carefully to Mr. Zhou’s appeals and thoughts.

Considering that Mr. Zhou did not want to destroy his relationships with his sisters, Lawyer Wu repeatedly contacted the judges and the lawyers of the counterparty to express a desire to mediate. As the sisters resolutely declared that the demolished house was the common property of their parents, all mediation attempts failed.

While promoting the mediation, Yanming Wu and Auxiliary Counsel Weijie Lv actively prepared all kinds of evidence and documents for the trial. In response to the sisters’ statement that the will did not bear their mother’s correct name, Lawyer Wu and Auxiliary Counsel Weijie Lv went to the company where Mr. Zhou’s mother worked to investigate and collect evidence, such as the name as it appeared on the mother’s company file and retirement certificate. They also collected a wealth of testimony from witnesses to prove that the name on the will was indeed the name that Mr. Zhou’s mother used in her life.

In court, the sisters suggested that their mother suffered from mental illness before she died and could not express herself clearly, thus the will was invalid. Lawyer Wu contradicted this point by showing a video which was filmed while Mother Zhou was making the will, videos recording daily interactions between Mr. Zhou and his mother, testimony from witnesses to the will, etc.

With the unremitting efforts of Lawyer Wu and Auxiliary Counsel Lv, the court eventually ruled that Mr. Zhou was the one to inherit the demolition agreement signed by his mother and the demolition relocation benefits. The case only went through one trial from the time it was filed to the court judgement, and Mr. Zhou achieved everything he set out to achieve. In order to thank Lawyer Wu and Auxiliary Counsel Lv for solving his inheritance problem in an effective and professional way, Mr. Zhou expressed his gratitude by presenting them with a specially made banner.
