China Notary | 中國公証
案例摘要 – Summary of a complicated case
本行黃吳潔華律師私人執業超過20年，亦是中國委托公証人，她擅長處理複雜的中國公證事務，包括複雜的繼承和放棄繼承遺產案件，案例如下:-
死者於中國內地出生，擁有香港永久居民身份證，在中國結婚時採用了別名，多年前來香港時登記了另一個名字，在內地擁有的房地產又是另一個登記名字，最後在死者的身份證明文件中(例如香港身份證、香港入境處紀錄、死亡證、內地結婚證、房產證及內地山墳等)有多於5個不同的姓名。由於時代久遠，死者沒有出世紙或出生證明文件，他的內地房產證亦有錯誤的資料，令死者的女兒於處理繼承的遺產事宜上困難重重。
死者的太太為一名年紀老邁的老人家，她是其中一位法定的遺產繼承人但她是文盲，令處理相關文書時更為困難。
內地有關當局要求繼承人先更改死者房地產證的錯誤資料，要求香港的中國公證文書處理有關事宜，但香港辦理公證文書的機構以不合程序為由拒絕處理有關文書。
最後黃律師先成功處理更改死者房地產證的資料，再成功處理死者擁有5個不同名字的問題，令繼承人能辦理遺產事宜。

一般來説，去世人的配偶、子女、父母皆能繼承內地的不動遺產。辦理遺產時，遺產承辦人需要出具一份辦理繼承遺產聲明到內地有關部門辦理遺產承辦手續。該繼承遺產聲明可由香港的中國委託公證人出具，經中國法律服務有限公司轉遞後，可在國內使用。
Generally speaking, the deceased’s spouse, children and parent(s) are entitled to the estate. The administrator is required to produce a declaration of administration of estate to Mainland China authorities to handle the deceased’s estate. Such a declaration can be made before a China Appointed Attesting Officer in Hong Kong, and will be effective after its copy is mailed to the relevant Mainland China authorities through China Legal Service (HK) Ltd.
