The background of this research is the prevailing inheritance system of pluralism in Indonesia because there are still classifying the population. Classification of the population in Indonesia is the legacy of the Dutch East Indies government regulated through Staatsregeling Indies (IS) 1925 No. 447 (Article 131 paragraph (1) sub a IS and Article 163 IS).

Indies into three (3) categories namely class European, Native groups and the Chinese and Foreign East.
