This study aims to provide legal protection and assurance for the rights of heirs so that they are not disregarded or deprived of the inheritance to which they are legally entitled. Under inheritance law as regulated by the Indonesian Civil Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata/KUHPerdata), there are two categories of heirs: those who inherit based on marital and blood relationships (descent), and those who are designated as heirs through a will. This research employs a normative legal research method that emphasizes library research as the primary source of data. The normative approach is carried out by examining various laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant legal literature in order to analyze the legal issues that constitute the object of this study.
