According to Thanh Nien sources, it is expected that on March 27, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court (HCMC People's Court) will open a conciliation session for the inheritance dispute of Mr. Hoang Duc Tien (late actor Duc Tien). The content of the conciliation session includes: resolving the plaintiff's lawsuit request, the defendant's counterclaim request and the remaining disputed issues between the parties.

The court has sent a notice of the conciliation session to the plaintiff, Ms. NBP (wife of the late actor Duc Tien, currently living in the US) and the defendant, Ms. NNA (mother of the late actor Duc Tien). The person with related rights and obligations is MH (daughter of the late actor) with the legal representative being Ms. BP (biological mother).

Ms. BP is in the US and has authorized a legal representative to file a lawsuit, provide evidence... and has a lawyer to protect her legal rights and interests. Ms. NA also has a lawyer to represent her under authorization to participate in the proceedings and a lawyer to protect her legal rights and interests.

Speaking with Thanh Nien , lawyer Do Van Luan (the person protecting the legal rights and interests of Ms. NA) confirmed the above information.

Previously, Ms. NBP filed a lawsuit, requesting the court to recognize her as receiving the real estate located at 26/4A, Street 24, Ward 7, Linh Dong Ward, Thu Duc City (HCMC) and land plot No. 1841, map sheet No. 6, located in Duc Hoa District, Long An Province. Ms. NNA and baby MH each received a portion of Mr. Hoang Tien Duc's inheritance with an amount of more than 666 million VND.

According to lawyer Luan, Ms. NNA is living at house 26/4A, street 24, quarter 7, Linh Dong ward, Thu Duc city. After the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court accepted the lawsuit, Ms. NNA filed a counterclaim. According to the counterclaim, Ms. NA requested the court not to recognize the will of the late actor Duc Tien made on August 9, 2023 in the US, because this will was notarized in the US but is not in accordance with Vietnamese law.

The late actor's mother also requested the following: Determine the real estate in Linh Dong ward, Thu Duc city, Ho Chi Minh city as the joint property of Ms. NA and the late actor. Ms. NA will receive 50% of the house value; Determine the legacy of the late actor Duc Tien, including: 50% of the value of the real estate in Linh Dong ward (in the joint property with Ms. NA), 50% of the value of land plot No. 1841 (in the joint property with Ms. BP); Divide 50% of the value of land plot No. 1841 equally among the 3 first-line heirs of Mr. Tien: Ms. NA, Ms. BP, and baby MH.

In addition, the management and preservation of the inheritance for Mrs. NA is 20% of the 50% value of the real estate in Linh Dong ward of the late actor. The remaining 80% is divided equally among the first-line heirs of the late actor Duc Tien, namely Mrs. NA, Mrs. BP, and child MH. Mrs. NA is entitled to receive the real estate and pay the two co-heirs of Mr. Tien according to the above ratio.

Actor Duc Tien passed away in May 2024 after a heart attack. The actor's sudden passing left many colleagues and audiences in mourning. More than half a year after Duc Tien passed away, his mother and wife had a dispute over the inheritance of the actor's estate.
