Inheritance right in full adoption

Question :

My mother was adopted in 1968, but then her biological parents found her and she and we kept in touch with them and with her younger brother. Grandma, grandpa and uncle died, no one left. Does my mother have the right to be an heir?

Answer:

Full adoption aims to bring the legal status of the adopted child as close as possible to that of a natural child. Between the adopted person and his descendants / children, grandchildren/ on the one hand and the adopter and his relatives on the other, relations arise as between relatives by origin. The relations with the biological parents of the adopted child are terminated. Inheritance rights are terminated in relation to the relatives of the adopted person, i.e. parental rights and obligations pass to the adopter, the adopted takes the patronymic and surname of the adopter, who is entered as a parent in the birth certificate.

Inheritance rights arise in relation to the adopter and his relatives / adoptive parents and their relatives/.

But the Heirs Certificate issued accurately reflects which persons are the legal heirs of the deceased person. The adopted person in case of full adoption is not the heir by law of his biological parents, since he does not appear in the population register as their child.
