“A frog in the well knows not the sea”. It is a ridiculous to make a investment to such a country which lack the sense of internationality.

(N) No there are no brothers and/or sisters

In this case, it means that there is no heir.

In the absence of an heir, an inherited property manager will be appointed and sometimes deal with its property relationship.

(N) No. Share the only one parent.

As mentioned in the previous entry,

Civil Code 900 Article 4 set out

iv)　if there are two or more children, lineal ascendants, or siblings, the share in the inheritance of each shall be divide : divided equally; provided that the share in inheritance of an child out of wedlock shall be one half of the share in inheritance of a child in wedlock, and the share in inheritance of a sibling who shares only one parent the share in inheritance of a sibling who shares both parentswith the decedent shall be one half of the share in inheritance of a sibling who shares both parents.

For statutory inheritance, in this case, brothers and sisters who share only one parent will be half of brothers and sisters who share the same.

(Y) Yes. Brothers and sisters share the same their parents.

According to the Civil Code Article900 . In paragraph 4,

iv)　if there are two or more children, lineal ascendants, or siblings, the share in theinheritance of each shall be divided equally; provided that the share in inheritance of an child out of wedlock shall be one half of the share in inheritance of a child in wedlock, and the share in inheritance of a sibling who shares only one parent with the decedent shall be one half of the share in inheritance of a sibling who shares both parents.

In this case, it means that brothers and sisters who share the same parents (sometimes siblings of whole blood), so the inheritance becomes even.

In addition, if brothers and sisters are dead, their children will be inherited
