The process of child adoption<\/a> is rapidly increasing in every corner of the world. This great process of providing a deserving life to a child who is without family is highly-appreciable. If you\u2019ve adopted a child and concerned about the share of a property from his\/her biological father then this blog is for you as in this blog we have provided the detailed answer for \u201cIs Adopted Child Eligible to Claim Right in Biological Father’s Property?\u201d So you must read carefully.<\/p>\n

Then ruling Justice Mridula Bhatkar of Bombay High Court observed through a similar case that once a child is given away in the process of adoption<\/a>, his\/her rights to property of his biological father automatically terminates. As the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 says that after the adoption, the child loses all the rights of being a son or a daughter of his\/her biological father and family.<\/p>\n

Exceptions to the Rule<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is to be noted that an adopted child cannot claim a share in the property of the adoptive parent if the adoptive parent is a disqualified heir in parent\u2019s property. What does the law say about disqualification? The law declares that any person shall not be disqualified from succeeding the rights of property share on the grounds of deformity, defect, and disease. So even if a person is physically unfit then also he\/she is eligible for the rights in property share.<\/p>\n

The Way to Claim Right in Biological Father’s Property by an Adopted Child<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As discussed above that according to the law, the adopted child becomes undeserving of the legal properties of the biological parents after he has been adopted by the adoptive parents, but if the biological parents want to gift the child with their property then that can be done as a personal favor that doesn\u2019t fall under the legal terms. Also, after the adoption in India<\/a>, the adoptive child becomes legally qualified to claim rights in the property of the adoptive father.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re planning to adopt a child or you\u2019re an adoptive parent already then you have to take into the consideration the above-mentioned information.
