Rights of adopted child Rights of adopted child

3 years ago

My elder uncle has adopted me 35 yrs. Back. He has one female child and they have not made any deed or agreement because that was totally mutual understanding of my family. He/Her given to me father and mother name in all document.
But now days not my father nor my mother is alive and their daughter want all the property. I just want to ask that i have right in my father's property or not. And what right on my biological mother and father property. Kindly guide me in this time.

A.Adoption deed is not mandatory. But was there any ceremony or ritual performed during the act of adoption? In your case, the act of taking adoption has to be proved.

In the event, there has been a ritual, then it is a valid adoption and you have property rights only in respect of your adoptive father's (i.e. uncle's) property. So, you can claim your share in your uncle's property(i.e. adoptive father). You do not have any claim with respect to your biological parents' properties.

A.According to Hindu adoption and maintenance act, 1956, an adoption except without in accordance with the provisions of the said Act, is void. You cannot claim any right to the property of your so called adoptive parents.
But, again, you have all the rights including right to property in accordance with provisions of law, in the family of your birth.
