重组家庭与晚年遗嘱: 如何降低遗嘱被挑战的风险 | Blended Families and Will Challenges

  • October 28, 2026

Home " Legal blog " Wills and estates " 重组家庭与晚年遗嘱: 如何降低遗嘱被挑战的风险 | Blended Families and Will Challenges

在维州, 继子女可以挑战遗嘱. 重组家庭中的年长立遗嘱人可以采取哪些实际措施, 保护自己的意愿和配偶.

长者再婚后把大部分遗产留给新配偶, 这样的遗嘱被挑战的风险更高. 再好的规划也不能让遗嘱完全不被挑战, 但可以让挑战更难成功, 也让对方更不愿意提出.

继子女可以提出申请

一个常见的误解是: 继子女, 或没有血缘关系的子女, 没有资格挑战遗嘱. 在维州, 这是错误的. 根据维州《1958年遗产管理与遗嘱认证法》 (Administration and Probate Act 1958 (Vic))第四部分, 可以申请”家庭财产供养”的”合资格人士”包括子女, 继子女, 在某些情况下还包括孙辈. 维州上诉法院已确认, 事实伴侣的子女也可以属于此处所指的继子女.

合资格人士仍须证明遗嘱没有为其提供足够的生活供养. 经济独立的成年子女要达到这一标准并不容易, 但应诉的费用仍然可能很高.

另外两种常见的挑战理由

除家庭财产供养申请外, 晚年订立的遗嘱还常以以下两种理由被挑战:

  • 缺乏立遗嘱能力: 立遗嘱人不明白自己签的是什么, 自己有哪些财产, 或谁可能期望受益.
  • 不当影响: 有人 (通常是主要受益人)向立遗嘱人施加压力.

保护遗嘱的实际措施

  1. 由立遗嘱人本人单独给出指示. 律师应在主要受益人不在场的情况下单独会见立遗嘱人, 视频会面也可以.
  2. 当时的立遗嘱能力证明. 对于年长的立遗嘱人, 在签署日期前后由家庭医生或老年科医生出具的简短信函或评估, 是很有力的证据.
  3. 详细的会面记录. 律师记录讨论内容, 立遗嘱人的理由以及其原话.
  4. 理由声明. 另行签署一份文件, 说明遗嘱为何如此安排, 并记录生前已给予子女或孙辈的赠与, 让法院看到他们并没有被遗忘.
  5. 措辞得体. 准确描述家庭成员, 例如”我的继子”, 避免批评或伤人的言语. 遗嘱中尖刻的措辞往往会引发诉讼, 而不是避免诉讼.
  6. 善用不经过遗产的资产. 按有效的具约束力受益人指定支付的养老金, 以及以”共同共有” (joint tenants)方式持有的房产, 会直接归在世一方所有.

受益人在海外时, 名字怎样写

我们的许多客户会把遗产留给在中国大陆, 香港, 马来西亚或其他地方的亲人. 遗嘱执行人必须能够清楚识别这些受益人. 我们建议:

  • 按受益人身份证件上的写法填写姓名, 如证件是姓在前, 就照此书写, 例如”WANG Xiaoming”;
  • 同时写上中文姓名;
  • 加上出生日期和身份证号码或护照号码.

地址可写可不写, 因为地址可能会变. 拼写前后一致, 能避免海外银行或登记机构核实受益人身份时出现延误.

如果股票在遗产中占比较大, 也请参阅我们关于股票, 资本利得税和持久授权书的文章.
