The step-parent has no right or duty towards him.
Moreover, the child is not intended to inherit from him.
Of course, it is always possible to make a donation or bequeath property to it by will.
But this gesture is limited in its amount because you must not infringe on the rights of your own children.
And in the absence of a family relationship, the gift and inheritance tax are calculated at the prohibitive rate of 60% (after an allowance of € 1,594 in the event of inheritance).
● What type of adoption should you favor?
There are two types of adoption: simple adoption and full adoption.
Except in special cases, the full adoption of a spouse's child is only possible for a child under 15 and only in certain specific situations, based on the absence of filiation with regard to the second parent.
More suited to the context of the blended family, simple adoption has become the preferred route for adopting a spouse's child.
