Unread Will After 40 Days of Death, Sibling Conflict with Dorce Gamalama's Adopted Child

Kapanlagi.com - The multi-talented artist Dorce Gamalama passed away on November 16th last year. The deceased's departure resulted in a conflict between the family and Dorce's adopted child.

On Tuesday (29/3/2022), Dorce's sibling named Elita, represented by her lawyer, held a press conference. She revealed that there were irregularities with Dorce's adopted child and their lawyer regarding the unread will after 40 days of the artist's passing.

1. Wondering about the Contents of the Will

As a family, Elita certainly does not want this issue to become public consumption. However, because the adopted child's lawyer, Dorce, announced that the will would be read but has not yet been read, they feel it is reasonable to wonder about its contents.

"The story began when a lawyer stated that there was an inheritance or will that would be opened after 40 days. That's where the controversy arose. According to Islamic law, if possible, it should be done quickly, if there is an inheritance. If not, then don't talk about it like that," said Husni Thamrin Tanjung, Elita's legal representative, when met in the Gambir area, Central Jakarta.

2. Not Getting Satisfactory Answers

After 40 days, Elita asked about the reading of the will to Dorce's adopted child. However, the answer she received was unsatisfactory. That's why the family later spoke out to the public.

"We confirmed with them (the adopted child), always saying 'Wait for the notary's call'. I asked, 'Who is the notary?'. Is it legally permissible to postpone it? No. So there is an indication of fraud. He said it would be opened in one or two months, that's not reasonable," continued Husni.

3. Aiming to Straighten Out

The relationship between the late Dorce Gamalama and her biological sister named Elita is said to be not good. When this inheritance issue arose, Elita had a special reason for why she raised it.

"So that the public knows that Dorce's sister is not like what has been described all this time. Her sister did not die and fight over inheritance, no. Our goal is to straighten things out," she said.
