Want this question answered?
Being born out of wedlock does not bar a child from inheriting from his deceased father. However, if the father left the child out of the will then that child might not be able to inherit anything without contesting the will in court.
Unless there is specific evidence that documents the relationship, such as the birth certificate or a court document, there will be no possible way to inherit. If they were adopted, all rights to the biological parent have been severed, so no inheritance.
An out of wedlock child is entitled to the same share as an in wedlock child. It is the biology that is crucial and not marital status. You should check the laws of intestacy in your jurisdiction.
If there is not will and the child is not the natural child of the deceased, and has not been adopted, they have no legal standing to inherit anything. If the child is the descendant of the wife and not the deceased, the child will get nothing directly, the wife will inherit. And if there were children of the deceased, but not the wife, those children may inherit some things.
In the event the step father is deceased, yes. But, you will need a copy of the death certificate showing that he is in fact deceased. Also you will need to know if he had a will that willed the property to someone else.
Yes.
It means that the mother and father of the child were not married
The mother. The father have to petition the court for custody.
Inheritance is normally defined by the last will of the deceased. Legitimacy is rarely a factor, except in for some inheritable Titles of Nobility.
The minor child's mother can file a claim against the father's estate. The minor child is also entitled to inherit a portion of the estate. The mother should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain her rights and options. The child can also collect survivor benefits from Social Security. See related link.
