A. Hi client,
You have a right in all the things that your adoptive parents have left behind. Since all your documents already bears their name, it itself is a proof of the same,provided that you have abided all the clause mentioned under the act of Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Case. If any dispute offers in that case you can file a suit in the competent court of jurisdiction.
Thanks and Regards

Can a retired pensioner adopt an 18 yr old child ?


A. Dear Client!

An adoption can be done only for the minor child only. An 18 year and above person cannot be adopted.

You can take care of the child aged 18 years. But cannot adopt.

Hope this resolves your query.

Post 2017 the Government of India has made it mandatory to adopt all children through CARA and follow the rule and the formalities. When you adopt through CARA then you follow the rules as the Juvenile Justice Act.
