Contesting parental affiliation after the person registered as the child’s father has died.
Share
When a person registered as the child's father dies before the child is born, his successors have the right to contest his parental affiliation if, while he was alive, he filed an application with a notary for not recognising his parental affiliation.
When a person registered as the child's father dies after filing an application to have his name removed from the birth record, his successors may file a statement of claim in court.
When a person dies while unaware that he was registered as the child's father for valid reasons, his heirs (wife, parents, and children) may contest his paternal affiliation.
The statute of limitations does not apply to a man's claim to have his name removed from the birth record as the child's father.
