In any class-based social system, the issue of inheritance also has a particularly important position in legal institutions, this is an important legal form to protect civil rights in general. Therefore, inheritance has become an indispensable need for the life of each individual, family and social community as stipulated in the Constitution and specified in specialized documents. Accordingly, Vietnamese civil law regulates inheritance rights quite strictly to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of citizens. In addition to inheritance rights, the law also respects the rights of people with property left behind, allowing them to dispose of their property after death, but this freedom is limited, the state prioritizes the division of inheritance. Inheritance to a person does not depend on the content of the previous will. So where does the law have this priority? This article will focus on researching the current situation of the law and recommending improvements in civil law provisions on forced inheritance (inheritance does not depend on the content of the will).
