MULTIPARENTALITY: REGISTRATION AFFILIATION AND ITS EFFECTS ON INHERITANCE LAW IN THE LIGHT OF ARTICLE 1829 OF THE CIVIL CODE

Abstract

This work started from the following question: What are the effects that derive from the relationship between the institutes of family law and inheritance law? Therefore, in order to find an answer, the following general objective was used: to show the possibility of recognizing and recording more than one father, or mother, in relation to the same child, one resulting from the biological bond and the other of the affective bond and to analyze about the possibilities of interpretation of the legal provisions that provide for the rules applied to successions, when related to the phenomenon of multiparentality. This is a bibliographical research with qualitative inference. The results indicate that multiparenthood provides for equal rights and duties, with no hierarchy between biological children and socio-affective children and in this sense, with regard to the effects of succession, the child will be the successor of both parents and the parents would be successors of the son. As a result, he also points out that both the name of the biological father and the name of the affective father or mother, as the case may be, can be included in the record.
