As regards your children, since the mother is dead, your second wife does not need any seperate adoption deed; even though she will always remain the step mother of your children.The step mother does not have any right over son's property if son's dies intestate.

Hello

I am in a simialr situation.

 

Lost my wife in an accident and have a child. I plan to get married soon and in that case as per advise in the earlier reply, I dont have to do any paperwork for ensuring that my child has my second wife as her legal mother.

Please confirm the same.

Apart from this, when I apply for a new passport for my child, my (new) Marriage certifiate along with all the other necessary documents would be enough to get her name as mother in my child's passport?
