coheir

Read a random definition: bifurcation

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.

What wave might we be seeing today?
My cycle is so cooked so far :(
oh lord u gota start drafting some LOCIs
Wait-list the cycle
how does this shit even work? do they use your email to track updates on your applications or something?
If you call law schools and ask about the status of your app are you likely to get an answer?
Honestly was expecting this cycle to go much better with my stats :(
idk but I was told not to contact the schools unless it has been literally months since you submitted application and it's already way past the deadline
literally all the schools I've applied to still show pending here, so I'm skeptical if it's even connected right or not
10:07
when did u submit your apps

@BalancedBlueberry: no u have to input everything manually
@FrioJGenius: define 'everything' lol
@bigfatsloth: like a month or so ago... but lsd only has my email I think so is it not connected right?

the status checker doesnt work on this website
@Mostlylegal: I don't think continuing your education for a better future is ever a bad idea. Hopefully the source of the recession will be out of office by the time we all graduate and things will be better
