The deceased passed away on 20 August 2014 from illness. His wife had passed away on 14 October 2010, and his parents were both deceased. The applicants (the deceased's five children) sought from the court a stipulation that they were the lawful beneficiaries under the deceased's will, in order that they could withdraw his pension from Bank BRI.
The court acceded to the applicants' request based on the grounds that they met the requirements to be considered beneficiaries, per art 171(c) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, and ordered them to pay costs (IDR 466,000).
