The decedent, Sun *1, died in June 2020. Before his death, he left a will to give two houses in Beijing to his parents and his wife, Huang *. The two plaintiffs (Sun *1's parents) claimed that Sun *1 suffered from mental illness and that the marriage was invalid, and demanded to inherit all the property, including the two houses, funeral expenses, pensions, and other assets totaling 1,096,844.44 yuan, as well as insurance compensation of 236,580.50 yuan. Huang * entrusted lawyers Li Yonghui and Fu Xiaofei from Beijing Hengluo Law Firm to represent her in the defense. The lawyers argued that the marriage was legally valid, that the stepdaughter, Wu *, was an inheritor who had formed a guardianship relationship, and that the couple's joint property should first be divided into the spouse's share. The court ultimately ruled that the two houses should be handled according to the will, and the remaining assets should be inherited according to statutory law. Considering that the plaintiffs had taken care of Sun *1 more during his lifetime, the court awarded them a larger share and specified the specific shares and compensation amounts for each party. The core disputes: the identification of testamentary capacity and the division of the couple's joint property.
