Today, January 7, the People's Court of Ho Chi Minh City opened the first instance trial of a dispute over inheritance property, requesting the cancellation of a specific decision and demanding a house for temporary residence between the plaintiff, Ms. Vo Thi Hong Nhung (younger sister of the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh) and the defendant, Ms. Vo Thi Hong Loan (daughter of the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh).

According to our records, from early morning, many YouTubers and people stood outside the court area to follow the case information. Security forces, police... were on duty in front of the court gate to maintain order. At the trial this morning, the plaintiff, Ms. Vo Thi Hong Nhung, the defendant, Ms. Vo Thi Hong Loan, and a number of people with related rights and obligations were present in court.

Ms. Vo Thi Hong Nhung and her daughter Le Thi Hong Phuong were also present at the trial.

Previously, on December 16, the trial was adjourned due to a request from plaintiff Vo Thi Hong Nhung.

Before deciding to bring the case to trial, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court held meetings to examine the submission, access, disclosure of evidence and mediation. Here, the parties had access to documents and evidence related to the dispute; including the conclusion of the signature appraisal of the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh. The conclusion of the Institute of Criminal Science No. 4993/KL-KTHS showed that there was not enough basis to conclude whether the signature on the adoption handover document and the adoption handover certificate issuance book compared with the signature of Meritorious Artist Vu Linh on the sample documents were signed by the same person or not. As a result, the mediation session failed because the parties did not agree to mediation.

According to the developments of the dispute, the plaintiff requested the court to request an appraisal of the signature of the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh on the adoption handover document and the adoption handover certificate book; cancel these documents and the inheritance declaration document of Ms. Hong Loan regarding the house and land at 5 Doan Thi Diem, Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City; the right to use 2 plots of land in Linh Dong Ward, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City; cancel the updated change on the certificate of house at 5 Doan Thi Diem regarding the content of the transfer of the name to Ms. Hong Loan; request to determine that the entire legacy of the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh is an inherited property owned by the second-order heirs.

On the defendant’s side, Hong Loan said she did not accept all of the plaintiff’s lawsuit requests. The defendant is the first heir and has submitted to the court all documents confirming that she is the legitimate child of Meritorious Artist Vu Linh. Ms. Loan filed a counterclaim, requesting Ms. Nhung and Ms. Le Thi Hong Phuong to move all of their assets out of house number 5 Doan Thi Diem.

Recently, the noisy dispute over the inheritance of Meritorious Artist Vu Linh has attracted public attention. The inheritance dispute of Meritorious Artist Vu Linh's family was accepted by the People's Court of Phu Nhuan District (HCMC) for first-instance settlement according to Notice No. 440/2023/TLST-DS dated June 5, 2023.
