Taiwan Abolishes the Forced Heirship Rights of Siblings: A Landmark Reform to the Civil Code
Taiwan's Legislative Yuan has passed a landmark amendment abolishing the forced heirship rights previously granted to siblings under the Civil Code. While the reform significantly expands testamentary freedom, it does not remove siblings from Taiwan's statutory order of succession. Individuals who die without a valid will may still have their estates inherited by their siblings under Taiwan's intestate succession rules.
This article explains the legal significance of the amendment, compares the old and new rules, discusses who will be most affected, and highlights important considerations for childless individuals, married couples without descendants, overseas Taiwanese, foreign nationals, and international estate planning involving Taiwan.
