Article 188Adjudication Cases for Disinheritance of Presumptive Heirs and Adjudication Cases for the Revocation of Disinheritance of Presumptive Heirs
第百八十八条(推定相続人の廃除の審判事件及び推定相続人の廃除の取消しの審判事件)
An adjudication case for the disinheritance of a presumptive heir and an adjudication case for the revocation of a ruling of the disinheritance of a presumptive heir are subject to the jurisdiction of the family court which has jurisdiction over the place of domicile of a decedent; provided, however, that if these cases are filed after the death of a decedent, they are subject to the jurisdiction of the family court which has jurisdiction over the place where the inheritance process has commenced.
推定相続人の廃除の審判事件及び推定相続人の廃除の審判の取消しの審判事件は、被相続人の住所地を管轄する家庭裁判所の管轄に属する。ただし、これらの審判事件が被相続人の死亡後に申し立てられた場合にあっては、相続が開始した地を管轄する家庭裁判所の管轄に属する。
The provisions of Article 118 apply mutatis mutandis to a decedent in the adjudication cases prescribed in the preceding paragraph.
In an adjudication case for the disinheritance of a presumptive heir, the family court must hear statements from the presumptive heir for whom disinheritance is sought, except when the petition is unlawful or the petition is clearly groundless. In this case, it must hear statements from the presumptive heir on a hearing date.
家庭裁判所は、推定相続人の廃除の審判事件においては、申立てが不適法であるとき又は申立てに理由がないことが明らかなときを除き、廃除を求められた推定相続人の陳述を聴かなければならない。この場合における陳述の聴取は、審問の期日においてしなければならない。
With regard to proceedings in an adjudication case for the disinheritance of a presumptive heir, the provisions of Articles 67 and 69 through 72 apply mutatis mutandis, while deeming the petitioner and the presumptive heir for whom disinheritance is sought to be the parties to the case.
推定相続人の廃除の審判事件における手続については、申立人及び廃除を求められた推定相続人を当事者とみなして、第六十七条及び第六十九条から第七十二条までの規定を準用する。
