The division of inheritance within the family is a problem that often causes conflict, both within the extended family and within the extended family. This study examines how the inheritance distribution process is carried out in Sidokerto Village, Mojowarno District, Jombang Regency. What factors influence the distribution of inheritance in Sidokerto Village, Mojowarno District, Jombang Regency? The methodology used in this study is empirical juridical. The results of this study indicate that the majority of people in this village use a customary inheritance law system that emphasizes equal rights among heirs, regardless of gender. However, a small portion of the community applies Islamic law, which regulates the distribution of inheritance based on the principle of two to one for men and women. This inheritance distribution practice often gives rise to conflict, especially when there are differing views between customary law and Islamic law. Factors influencing inheritance distribution in this village include local traditions, the level of legal understanding, and the socio-economic conditions of the heirs. In many cases, family deliberation is the primary mechanism for reaching agreement, supported by village officials as neutral mediators. Furthermore, the inheritance distribution process begins with the collection of inherited assets and the determination of heirs.
