Applying a legal normative method, the findings conclude that there are three systems of inheritance laws in Indonesia: civil law, Islamic inheritance law, and customary law. The resolution of inheritance distribution in interfaith families within in Islam involves the application of "wasiat wajibah," while for non-Muslim faiths (Hindu, Christian, Catholic, Buddhist, Confucian), civil law or customary law adhered to by the deceased applies.
