公民死亡后往往都会涉及遗产继承问题,如果是非正常死亡,比如交通事故等人身伤害还会涉及死亡赔偿金的问题。由于死者的遗产继承人和死亡赔偿金支付对象高度重合,基本上都是死者的近亲属即法定继承人的范畴。因此,很多人都会简单地把死亡赔偿金和遗产当成是一回事,以为可以把死亡赔偿金当作遗产来处理。果真如此吗? Citizens often involve inheritance after death, and in the case of unnatural deaths, personal injuries such as traffic accidents also involve the issue of compensation for death. Since the deceased’s heirs of inheritance and the object of payment of death compensation are highly overlapping, they are basically the close relatives of the deceased, or legal heirs. Therefore, many people simply consider the death compensation and inheritance as one thing, thinking that the death compensation can be treated as a legacy. Really?
