This case involves a dispute over the division of jointly owned property. After the death of Wang Bin's parents, they left the house at No. 809 in Haidian District, which was divided equally to Wang Bin and his sister Wang Li by court judgment. Later, Wang Li donated her share to her son Zhang Xiaoqiang. In July 2020, Zhang Xiaoqiang changed the locks and prevented Wang Bin from renting out the property, and the two parties failed to reach an agreement. Wang Bin entrusted Xue Suhua and Wang Fangli of Beijing Hengluo Law Firm to represent him, requesting that the house be owned by Zhang Xiaoqiang and that he pay a depreciation fee, or that the house be auctioned and sold for a proportional division and that Wang Bin be paid occupancy and use fees. The court ruled that Zhang Xiaoqiang should assist in auctioning and selling the house at No. 602, with each party receiving 50%, and pay Wang Bin occupancy and use fees of 192,000 yuan from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2024.

Q1: If multiple children inherit a house, how should they divide it? Can such claims ultimately be supported?

Whether or not support can be obtained depends on whether the evidence is sufficient, whether the legal relationship is clear, and whether the choice of procedure is appropriate. Our firm does not guarantee victory. If there is a clear basis for rights and a complete chain of evidence, the court or arbitration institution will usually support reasonable claims in accordance with the law; otherwise, the risk will be higher. It is recommended to first sort out the facts and materials regarding how to divide a house among multiple children, and evaluate the feasibility by referring to Articles 209, 311, and 595 of the Civil Code. If necessary, consult a professional lawyer.

The more complete the evidence is, the more it can support the claim.
