<![CDATA[Under Balinese customary law, inheritance is based on a patrilineal system (kepurusa), in which inheritance rights are generally granted to male descendants, while daughters who marry out (ninggal kedaton) lose their status as heirs.

This creates normative issues regarding the legal status and binding force of wills, as their substance frequently conflicts with the principles of Balinese customary inheritance law.
