COHEIRS Meaning and Definition

1. Coheirs refers to individuals who share the inheritance of a deceased person equally. In legal terms, they are jointly entitled to inherit and possess the assets, belongings, and property left behind by the deceased, typically in accordance with the deceased's will or the laws of intestate succession. Coheirs usually have an equal and undivided interest in the inherited assets, making them legal and financial partners in the distribution and management of the estate.

   The term "coheirs" commonly applies in situations where there is no specific designation of a sole heir or when multiple individuals are designated as heirs in the absence of a will. In such cases, the estate is divided equally among the coheirs, ensuring that each individual receives an equal share of the inheritance. They may have mutual responsibilities and obligations, such as the payment of debts, taxes, or any liabilities related to the estate.

   Furthermore, the rights and duties of coheirs can vary depending on the legal jurisdiction and the specific circumstances surrounding the inheritance. This may include the need for consensus or majority agreement among coheirs in matters involving the management, liquidation, or transfer of the inherited assets. Coheirs may also possess the right to claim or contest the validity of the will, seek mediation or legal resolution in case of disputes, or to renounce their share of the inheritance.

Etymology of COHEIRS

The word "coheirs" is derived from the combination of the prefix "co-" meaning "together" or "jointly", and the word "heirs", which refers to individuals who inherit or are entitled to receive someone's property, title, or rights. The term "heirs" comes from the Old French word "heir", ultimately derived from the Latin word "heres", meaning "heir" or "successor". It is related to the Latin verb "hērēre", which means "to inherit". When "co-" is added to "heirs", it signifies that more than one person is inheriting or entitled to the same property, title, or rights. Thus, "coheirs" refers to multiple individuals who inherit or are entitled to receive something jointly.
