Legal and contractual transfer of property to an adopted child under US law (with a view to Iranian law)

Abstract

The custody of children and adolescents without a guardian and with a bad guardian in Iranian law ‎has many similarities to the institution of adoption in American law, with the fundamental difference ‎that custody in Iranian law does not result in a real parent-child relationship between the guardian ‎and the adopted child, and just has been resulted to some rights and duties. This legal relationship ‎will have financial and non-financial effects on the relationship between the parties, one of the most ‎important financial effects has always been the possibility of inheritance between them or bequest of ‎property for each other.‎The present study, focusing on American law and jurisprudence in this country, has tried to study the ‎various hypotheses of inheritance between the adopted child and the guardian, the adopted child and ‎the guardian relatives, and the adopted child and his / her real parents, as well as the possibility of ‎citation. Examine the will concluded in favor of the adopted child, assuming the conclusion of a ‎direct will by the guardian or an indirect will by the relatives of the guardian; In this regard, there has ‎been a look at Iranian law and codified laws in this regard.‎
