1.32.350 Determination of Relationship of Parent and Child

If for purpose of intestate succession a relationship of parent and child shall be established to determine succession by, through or from a person as follows.

(a) An adopted person shall inherit from all other relatives of an adoptive parent as though the adopted person was the natural child of the adoptive parent and the relatives shall inherit from the adoptive parent's estate as if they were the adoptive parent's relatives.

(b) A person born out of wedlock is a child of the mother and is a child of the father, if the relationship of parent and child has been established but a person born out of wedlock is not treated as the child of the father unless the person is openly and notoriously so treated by the father or unless paternity has been judicially determined during the life of the father or in some other manner which satisfies the court by clear and convincing evidence that paternity has been conclusively established.
