Sleman, Yogyakarta, sindonewsjateng.com – A family drama unfolded during a mediation over an inheritance dispute at the West Depok Police Station in Yogyakarta. Amid tensions between an elderly father (88 years old, initials S) and his two children, the figure of lawyer Rasmono, S.H., emerged as a guardian of dignity and justice. The dispute centered on the division of assets, including a house located on Timor Timur Street, Kaliurang.
S’s daughter (initial L), accompanied by five lawyers, demanded an equal division of the assets. However, S’s son (initial A) opposed selling the house, considering it a sacred trust from their late mother. In a phone conversation with the police unit chief, A stated firmly, “I will follow my father’s and my sister’s decision. But there’s one thing I ask—please don’t sell the house on Timor Timur Street. That was my mother’s last wish.”
The mediation grew heated when L raised her voice during an argument with her father. At that moment, Rasmono, S.H., displayed his courage and professionalism. He firmly defended his elderly client, emphasizing the importance of respect and peace for S in his old age. The presence of five attorneys supporting L did not shake Rasmono’s resolve.
“I’m not here to win or prove anything,” Rasmono, S.H., asserted. “I’m here to find a solution. This isn’t about power, but about compromise for the sake of peace.” His calm yet firm demeanor helped ease the tension.
Though S appeared composed, the look in his eyes revealed a hope that this conflict would not tear the family apart. The West Depok Police commended Rasmono, S.H.’s humane and professional approach, calling it an exemplary stance in handling cases involving the elderly.
This mediation highlighted the complexity of inheritance disputes and the crucial role of lawyers who not only focus on legal aspects but also bring humanity into their practice. Rasmono, S.H., stands as a symbol of an advocate who upholds justice and dignity—especially for those who are vulnerable. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving family harmony and respecting our elders.
