Sir, If the legal adoption process was followed and if all the legal papers are in order, then he has all the rights of a natural descendant. Good luck, Kishor Mehta

Agreeing with Mr. Kishore Mehta.

After valid adoption the relationship is same as that of with natural/biological parents.

The rights does not lead to forced share in self acquired estate/property of adoptive parents.

The adopted son has the the moral responsibiltity to look after adoptive parents.

They can leave the estate for him to inherit.

They can also dispose thier estate in anyone's favor during their life time.

You may go thru:

 

Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act 1956



Section 10: The child must be less than 15 yrs of age. However, if a custom to the contrary exists, such an adoption may take place.



Section 12 : an adopted child is deemed to be a natural child of his adopted parents for all purposes. All relations with the natural parents and family are severed and new relationships with the adopted parents are established. …………………………………the adopted child is not divested of his property that has vested in him before adoption and that an adopted child cannot divest anybody of his vested property after adoption.



Section 13 : that subject to any ante-adoption agreement, the adoptive parents do not lose their right of alienation of their property after adoption.



Section 15: a valid adoption cannot be canceled either by the adoptive father or mother. Neither can the adopted child renounce the adoptive parents and go back to the family of his birth.
