Worked steps

1 / 3 × 100 = 33.33333333%

Confirm eligible heirs, the applicable class and their count before using the basic rule. This tool does not decide eligibility. For no other blood relatives select none and enter 0. The limit of 100 people is a technical limit. Representation, renunciation or loss of rights, wills, reserved shares, prior gifts, marital property, debts and cross-border issues may change the outcome; consult a qualified professional. The result is neither an actual payout, legal advice nor estate tax.

Method and scope

This is basic arithmetic under Taiwan Civil Code for already-confirmed heirs; it does not determine who is eligible.

Representation, renunciation, wills, reserved shares, prior gifts, marital property, debt and cross-border cases need professional advice. The result is not an actual payout or estate tax.

What this tool does

Calculate statutory share fractions in a basic Taiwan inheritance scenario once the spouse and eligible class are confirmed.

What to enter

Choose whether a spouse is eligible, select the confirmed blood-relative class and enter how many eligible heirs are in it, excluding the spouse.

Example

For example, if a spouse and 2 children are all eligible and no special circumstances apply, each has a basic statutory share of 1/3 of the estate.

How it works

For example, a spouse and 2 eligible children each receive 1/3. The spouse receives one half with the second or third class, or two thirds with the fourth. If there are no other eligible heirs, the spouse receives the whole estate.

Understanding the result

The result is a basic share percentage, not a determination of eligibility or amount payable.

Limits

Representation, wills, reserved shares, debt, prior gifts, marital property and cross-border issues are outside scope. Consult a qualified professional.
