The Increasing Trend of Refusing Inheritances: Insights from Notaries and Trends
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-11-26 11:42:00
The number of people who have refused an inheritance free of charge has been increasing for five years, notes the Federation of Notaries. In 2018, the number of free waivers stood at 35,992. Then, this figure increased from 45,505 to 46,165 between 2019 and 2020. It increased further in 2021, to 49,532, then in 2022. For the year 2023, the federation had recorded 38,632 refusals of succession until September.
This increase can be explained by a double factor, according to Sylvain Bavier, spokesperson for Notaire.be. On the one hand, inheritances previously fell under the jurisdiction of the courts, which did not publicize the different modalities, he points out. “This skill then returned to notaries in 2018.” On the other hand, “we observe quite a few ‘broken’ families, with branches which no longer have contact with each other and give up because they do not want to (to invest in these procedures, Editor’s note) or think that only debts remain.

Organized Criminal Group Using Orange Money Chip Scam: Arrest & Court Proceedings
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Barely 25 years old, Fallou Mboup and Serigne Fallou Diakhaté, as an organized group, are developing their modus operandi. For 3 months, they have been operating a well-designed organization in which they share the tasks. Fallou Mboup goes to cash points to collect small sums. By putting in his number, he took the opportunity to register under the nickname Orange Money. So, he sends Serigne Fallou Diakhaté to make withdrawals. He sends the confirmation message with his number. The agent sees the message from Orange and gives him the requested amount. They have several victims to their credit. The damage is, to date, not defined.
In view of the facts, they were arrested on November 5. The two acolytes appeared this Tuesday, at the bar of the court of flagrante delictos for the heads of criminal association, fraudulent access and maintenance in a computer system of several Orange Money distributors, fraudulent entry into a computer system unduly obtaining advantages , computer forgery, collection of personal data, identity theft of a certain Macodou.
Before the judges, Fallou Mboup, who defended himself first, contested the facts. The second-year student maintains that it was his friend named Moustapha who committed these crimes before leaving him his chip to go to Nicaragua. “Several supplier numbers were found on his contact list. I don’t know this process. I only did the validations. It was not me who generated the messages. I learned the modus operandi through friends. I did not initiate Fallou Diakhate into his shenanigans,” he added. However, the latter, prosecuted for complicity of the leaders held once morest Mboup, puts forward the complete opposite. He declares that Fallou made him believe that it was his aunt who was going to validate. “I recovered 90 thousand CFA francs. He gave me 30 thousand CFA francs. But I was unaware of his shenanigans,” he said.
As such, the civil party’s counsel, Orange, is claiming 2 million CFA francs from Fallou Mboup in damages. The supporting prosecution requires six months of imprisonment following reclassification for Fallou Diakhaté. Me Abdy Nar Ndiaye in defense of Serigne Fallou Diakhaté proclaims pure and simple release for the accused, freshly returned from the Daara which was used. “If you feel that there is an ounce of guilt concerning him, I ask you to benefit from a benevolent application of the law,” adds the black dress.
Considering that the facts alleged once morest his client are all established, Mr. Abdourahmane Diallo, on behalf of Fallou Mboup, requests a benevolent application of criminal law. Finally, the court following deliberating declared Fallou Mboup guilty of fraud and sentenced him to a prison sentence of 2 years including three months and ordered the restitution of 2 million to the civil party. The judge acquits Serigne Fallou Diakhate with the benefit of the doubt.

It all started with an ear infection and a sore throat. Hadrien “then started to cough and, little by little, he lost his appetite and he vomited,” says Sabine, the mother of the 7-month-old little one. An appointment was made with the doctor and the diagnosis was quickly made: bronchiolitis, “very probably” caught at daycare.
Hadrien is far from the only baby coughing these days. Ten of the thirteen regions of mainland France are still in the epidemic phase, according to the new weekly report from Public Health France, published this Wednesday. All indicators have risen sharply over the past month, whether SOS Doctors consultations, emergency room visits and hospitalizations, and especially earlier than in each of the pre-Covid years. “It’s tense, bronchiolitis is there this year,” summarizes Professor Christèle Gras Le Guen, pediatrician at Nantes University Hospital and former president of the French Pediatric Society.
The curves “settled” last week, but this is probably explained – as every year – by the school holidays. “It was very calm during All Saints’ Day and it has started to rise once more since the start of the school year, as always,” says Brigitte Virey, president of the National Union of French Pediatricians.
The effective Beyfortus?
Fortunately, we remain far from the exceptional values reached a year ago at the same time of year. “It doesn’t look like last year’s hell, where there were tents in front of some emergency services. The pediatric services are operating at full capacity, but we are still in a situation that we are managing,” indicates Christèle Gras Le Guen. At this stage, the pediatrician has “not heard” of a baby in intensive care having to be transferred from one establishment to another since October. “Usually, this immediately causes a scandal! »
Questioned Tuesday morning on Sud Radio, the Minister of Health, Aurélien Rousseau, affirmed that “the indications are positive” because “we have fewer serious forms”. He sees this, “without doubt”, as an impact of the Beyfortus preventive treatment, offered this year to toddlers for the first time.
200,000 doses have been reserved for France this year but the desire of parents to protect their babies has exceeded the government’s expectations, and Beyfortus is now reserved for maternity hospitals. Sabine would also have liked to have her baby immunized, but she might not. “We tried, because as a firefighter I trust the recommendations,” says the young woman, despite everything being relieved to see that her child is doing better.
The fact remains that these “positive indications” are difficult to appear in the figures, if we take a further step back. Bronchiolitis represents around 40% of intensive care admissions for babies under 2 years old, more at this time of year than during the years 2015 to 2020. “We all need to monitor and scrutinize the situation to see if Beyfortus has an impact but, at this stage, it is still much too early to be able to say anything,” concludes Christèle Gras Le Guen.
