A woman in Taipei married her husband in 2019. After giving birth to a daughter the following year, her husband died unexpectedly 2 days following her daughter was born. The woman later discovered that a house originally under her husband’s name had been sold by her in-laws without authorization, so she sued for compensation. It means that the house was registered under the name of the son, and the house was managed and taxed by the in-laws for many years. The court finally ruled that the woman had no right to inherit the house, and the owner of the house was the in-laws.
Media person Xu Shengmei shared on the program “News Digging Wow” that the woman married her husband in Virginia, USA in June 2019, and then registered her marriage in Taiwan.

She took her husband’s death certificate to the household registration office to cancel the household. She found out that a house originally under her husband’s name had been sold by her in-laws for 20.9 million yuan.
The woman said that she was originally her husband’s first-in-line heir, and her daughter was the second-in-line heir, so she believed that her in-laws had stolen and sold her property, and decided to file a lawsuit, demanding that her in-laws should compensate the amount of 25.11 million registered at the market price, and her in-laws went to court to explain, The house was bought in 1980, when her husband was only 4 years old, and they only registered in their names. In addition, the woman’s husband lived in the United States for many years and did not manage the house at all.
The woman’s in-laws said that the house was rented to a machinery company for many years, and the rent was collected by the father-in-law. Now that the woman’s husband has passed away, the “name-borrowing relationship” has been terminated, so the in-laws have the right to deal with the house, and finally Taipei The local court determined that the owner of the house was the in-laws, and the in-laws paid the house-related taxes for many years, so the woman might not get any compensation.
