Studying tax laws after death and I just learned what a “posthumous child” is (a child born after death)....& a grey area for this is children conceived with your genetic material after death (sperm banks, frozen eggs, etc.)...definitely something I haven’t thought about before
In CA, a posthumous child will only inherit anything from you after your death if they were conceived using your genetic material with WRITTEN permission up to two years after you died. Very interesting.
However a child born outside of marriage will only receive a share of the fathers estate IF they can prove the father acknowledged them as his child and contributed to their care/support. WOW. men are only accountable to themselves.
Women have a trick too though. ANY child born within a marriage or a registered domestic partnership is assumed to be the man’s child... and will inherit their share of his estate upon his death....
