Mr. Ta Voracsattha, a Cambodian citizen left a Will which was made before a notary public on 09 December 2012 before he passed away later in that month.
Being a father of six children, the deceased appointed, in the said Will, two of his children as the co-executors of the Will to carry out his wish by managing and distributing the estates in accordance with the content of the Will.
Wanting to obtain an equal share of the estates, some of the successors were not happy with their father’s decision and requested the Court to divide the assets ‘equally’ for all children by totally disregarding the Will of the deceased.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court agreed with such request and disregarded the Will even though the Will is valid and recognized by law. The co-executors of the Will were shocked and therefore made an appeal against the decision of the Court and demanded for the execution of the Will as it is at the Appeal Court.
