Help with Child's Share and Will - Legal Aid

Questioner

Can my child claim more than her share?

Lawyer

The background to your question is unclear to me. Is there already a will or does it still need to be drawn up? As long as customization is still possible through a will, I advise you to contact a notary for this.

Questioner

There is already a will, she has to sign for the sale of my house, and she is entitled to her child's share. But she only signs if she gets more. What should I do with this?

Lawyer

If your daughter has to co-sign for the sale, she is probably co-owner (to the value of her child's share) of the house. If she does not cooperate with the sale, you can ask the court to 'divide the house by sale' and you can also ask for authorization to sell and transfer ownership without your daughter's cooperation in case she does not want to cooperate with the sale and transfer ownership.
