Legal Proceedings for Forced Share
Legal proceedings for a forced share enable individuals, such as children, a spouse, or parents of the deceased, to demand from the heirs a specified part of the estate’s value if they were omitted from the will or received a smaller share than they are entitled to by law.
This process is particularly important when a will excludes statutory heirs or assigns them a significantly smaller portion of the estate than they would be entitled to under inheritance laws. The forced share is paid in cash and represents a portion of the estate’s value that the deceased could distribute by a will.
