coheir

Read a random definition: operating interest

A quick definition of coheir:

A coheir is a person who inherits property from someone who has died without leaving a will. They can also inherit property through a will. Sometimes, people use the term "heir" to refer to someone who will inherit a lot of money or property in the future. In civil law, an heir is someone who succeeds to the rights and property of a deceased person. There are different types of heirs, such as an heir apparent who is certain to inherit, and a pretermitted heir who has been left out of a will.

A more thorough explanation:

A coheir is a person who, along with one or more others, inherits property from a deceased person. In common-law jurisdictions, a coheir can inherit real or personal property, whether by will or by intestate succession. In civil law, a coheir is a person who succeeds to the rights and occupies the place of, or is entitled to succeed to the estate of, a decedent, whether by an act of the decedent or by operation of law.

Example: John and Jane are siblings. When their father dies, they both inherit his house as coheirs. They each have an equal share in the property.

Explanation: In this example, John and Jane are coheirs because they both inherit the property from their father. As coheirs, they have an equal share in the property.
