Inheritance refers to the assets that will be shared among the heirs after the death of a person. However, some precautions have been taken in inheritance law with the thought that sometimes there may be injustice or unfairness between the heirs. One of these measures is the concepts of “Eschewing Property from Inheritance” and “Decedent Muavazaa”. In this article, we will discuss the concepts of inheritance evasion and muris collusion in detail.
Evasion of Property from Inheritance:
Inheritance evasion is when a person transfers his assets to others by fraudulent means or illegally in order to pass them on to his heirs before his death. In this case, heirs cannot receive the inheritance they deserve and injustice occurs. In case of loss of property from the inheritance, the heirs can file a lawsuit to prevent this injustice through legal means.
Muris Muawazaa:
Muris collusion comes into play when a person makes a will that does not reflect his true will when leaving an inheritance, is under the influence of others, or is made fraudulently. In other words, if the testator prepares the will under the influence of others or by fraud, although he does not really want to, in this case, the testator may be in question. In case of dispute between the deceased, the heirs can file a lawsuit to determine the true will through legal means.
