Based on the practical cases handled by our firm, the core of real estate sales disputes often lies in fact determination and evidence collection. Taking the dispute over the contract of buying a house under another's name handled by our firm as an example, Attorney Li Yonghui submitted new evidence to overturn the findings of the previous case and assist the plaintiff in transferring the property. This case involves a dispute over a contract of buying a house under another's name. Liu Shufen obtained a resettlement house at No. 101 in Fengtai District, Beijing through demolition in 1996. In 2005, she purchased the house under her mother's name, Zhang Dongmei, through the housing reform program and signed a "Contract for Resettlement Housing" explicitly stating that the purchase was made under another's name. After her parents passed away, her sister Liu Shufang sued for inheritance and the first-instance court awarded the house to her. Liu Shufen entrusted Attorney Li Yonghui from Beijing Henglue Law Firm to appeal and submitted the newly discovered "Contract for Resettlement Housing". The second-instance court revoked the first-instance judgment on inheritance, and thereafter, a lawsuit was filed for transfer of ownership based on the contract dispute. The core dispute lies in the agreement to buy a house under another's name and the actual investment. The court supported the plaintiff and ordered assistance in transferring ownership. The case applies the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China and relevant demolition and real estate policies.

If necessary, consult a professional lawyer.
Q2: Do I need to write a written statement to handle the renunciation of inheritance of property? What evidence do I need to prepare?
The core evidence should be organized around the basis of rights and the focus of the dispute, including proof of the identity and relationship of the parties, documents of rights and obligations, communication processes and performance records, proof of losses or amounts, and materials that can prove the statute of limitations and jurisdiction.

As for attorney's fees, they are determined based on the complexity of the case, the amount of the subject matter, and the workload, and are charged on a per-case basis, as a percentage of the subject matter, or on an hourly basis. The fees are negotiated between the law firm and the client and specified in the engagement contract.
