If my partner died and had children before our union, how is the succession handled?

When there are children, sons or daughters and the person who died did not make a will, their offspring are the only persons who can inherit the deceased's property. Note that sons and daughters do not affect the right of the spouse, partner or life partner to inherit the 50% of the marital (marriage) or property (UMH) partnership. On the other hand, in the event that there are no assets in the marital or property partnership, it is possible that the surviving person may choose to waive his or her rights in the property partnership and claim the marital portion instead.
