GN 00306: Child Relationship and Dependency

TN 27 (12-00)

The following sections (GN 00306.405 - GN 00306.680) show individual State intestacy laws on how a child or parent can be legitimated/acquire inheritance rights, and when each provision is effective. Provisions that confer inheritance rights but do not legitimate the child are preceded by an “I” in the State Law entries. If necessary, refer inheritance or legitimation issues to the RCC for an opinion per GN 01010.815 ff.

See GN 00306.050 - GN 00306.085 for general instructions on determining parent-child relationship under State intestacy law.
