The Chambre des recours civile proved the sisters right and annulled the decision of the justice of the Peace. More detailed summary: The Chambre des recours civile has annulled the decision of the Justice of the Peace of the Jura-Nord vaudois and the Gros-de-Vaud of February 4, 2020, by which the sister of V.________ had been recognized as the sole heiress of the deceased M.________. The two sisters V. and E.________ had challenged the decision, as they believed that they should both inherit in equal shares. The Chambre des recours civile proved the sisters right and annulled the decision of the justice of the Peace. She came to the conclusion that the deceased M.________ had not clearly determined in his will that his sister V. should be the sole heiress. Rather, the wording of the will was such that it could also be interpreted as heiresses in equal parts. The Chambre des recours civile has thus strengthened the rights of the two sisters and ensured that they both inherit equally.
