Her work
June Zhang began practising law in China in 1998. Her early years were in financial disputes, corporate and commercial work and debt recovery; she was among the first lawyers in Xiamen to take on internal investigations for banks and insurers.
Since 2012 she has focused on marriage, family and inheritance. She resolves disputes by mediation, by agreement or in court, depending on the family and the facts.
Who she works with
She works with people who live outside mainland China and have property, an estate or a court case there.
- Heirs abroad who need to deal with a flat, bank deposits or shares in China after a parent or relative dies. See how heirs abroad inherit property in China.
- Families across borders: spouses, parents and children whose marriage, property or inheritance involves more than one country or region. See getting a foreign divorce recognised in China.
- People with a family or inheritance case before a Chinese court, who need advice on Chinese law or a lawyer to represent them. See what happens when an inheritance dispute goes to court.
- Lawyers abroad working on a wider family or estate matter who need the Chinese-law side: advice, a review of documents, or someone to handle the steps in China.
Documents from abroad
Many matters turn on papers made outside China: a foreign will, a marriage or divorce certificate, a court judgment, a power of attorney. She checks what they need before they are used in China, so that translation, notarisation and legalisation are done once. Which steps apply depends on where the document was made. See the documents an heir abroad needs.
She advises on Chinese law only. Questions of foreign law, and proceedings outside mainland China, are handled with a lawyer qualified there.

An estate with heirs in Australia and Canada
The deceased owned several properties in different Chinese cities and had been married twice. His widow and children lived in Australia; his former wife and their children lived in Canada and elsewhere. The case settled by mediation, and the clients came to China to register the transfers.
A share in a flat in China, inherited without going to court
The deceased was a Chinese Filipino who held a share of a flat in mainland China. The deceased's daughter, a Hong Kong resident, instructed June Zhang to handle the inheritance. It was completed through notarisation after work with the authorities involved.
A family home owned by four siblings
One of the clients lived in Hong Kong. The house had been owned by four siblings, and the case turned on old facts, the validity of a will and the inheritance rights of an adopted daughter.
Two families, three generations, two properties
Two properties had belonged to two people who died many years earlier. The heirs of one sued the heirs of the other to divide them. After several rounds of talks, the parties settled.
