In a bequest and support agreement dispute case in Fujian, the court ruled that the agreement is legal and valid, entitling the supporter to inherit all of the deceased's estate.

The decedent, Wang 2024, passed away on 1/10 due to illness. He left no spouse or children, and his parents had also predeceased him. He was survived only by his younger brother, Wang 2. In 2022/10, the decedent entered into a "Legacy Support Agreement" with the plaintiff, Chen, whereby Chen assumed the obligation to support the decedent during his lifetime and handle his funeral arrangements. Upon the decedent's death, all of his property would be bequeathed to Chen. After signing the agreement, Chen fully fulfilled these obligations by caring for the decedent's daily living needs, diet, and medical care until his passing, and subsequently arranged his funeral. Following the decedent's death, his brother, Wang 2, challenged the validity of the Legacy Support Agreement, claiming it was void and demanding that the estate be distributed according to statutory inheritance rules. The plaintiff, Chen, therefore filed suit to confirm the legality and validity of the Legacy Support Agreement and to inherit the entire estate of the decedent.

The court ruled that the "Legacy Support Agreement" signed by the decedent Wang and the plaintiff Chen in 2022 year 10 month is legal and valid; all of the decedent's estate shall be inherited by the plaintiff Chen; the defendant shall bear all litigation costs of this case.
