Abstract

With the deepening of the exchanges between Chinese mainland and Taiwan, economic and cultural exchanges have brought a series of property problems. At this time, the nuances in the settlement of inheritance disputes between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan have slowly emerged. Drawing on the advanced legislative system of the German and Japanese Civil Laws, the Taiwan Civil Code shows a more complete theoretical system in the links of people, things and affairs of statutory inheritance. The mainland’s inheritance law has been continuously enriching its content and revising loopholes for more than 30 years since its establishment. Through the comparison and analysis of the scope, order, and share of relevant statutory heirs in Chinese mainland and Taiwan, we hope to make some contribution to the improvement of the inheritance system in the mainland’s civil law.
