Recently, the Chongqing Dadukou District People's Court heard a case of unjust enrichment dispute, which raised concerns about the issue of inheritance rights under a long-term cohabitation relationship without formal registration. In this case, after the sudden death of his live-in boyfriend Huang, the defendant Yang used Huang's mobile phone to transfer more than 100 yuan to his bank account without authorization, and the court finally ruled that the money was unjust enrichment and should be returned.
The court investigation found that after Huang and his ex-wife divorced, they did not officially marry again, but lived together with his girlfriend Yang Moumou for a long time in the name of husband and wife since 2000. However, after Huang's death, his huge estate became the focus. Huang did not leave a will, and the legal heirs include his daughter Huang Xiaomou and his mother in her 80s. However, after Huang's death, Yang used Huang's mobile phone to transfer more than 100 yuan without authorization, triggering the court's intervention.
During the trial, Yang asserted that he and Huang had formally formed a husband and wife relationship and had lived together for more than 20 years, so they should enjoy the inheritance rights of the legal husband and wife relationship. She also mentioned that the two run the gallery together and earn money, so she should be entitled to inherit Huang's estate. However, the court held that Yang and Huang were not in a de facto marriage and failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove that they jointly operated the gallery, and finally ruled that the deposit she transferred without authorization was unjust enrichment and should be returned to the legal heirs.
In this case, the court made it clear that common-law is not equivalent to a de facto marriage and that certain conditions are required to require a person other than an heir to have the right to inherit. The requirement of joint business in a cohabitation relationship is supported by sufficient evidence, such as reciprocal and complementary joint business activities. Overall, this precedent provides a clear legal perspective for similar cases, emphasizing the legal basis and proof requirements for inheritance.
