继父母子女间法定继承权的相关问题研究

Research on Issues Related to the Legal Inheritance Right between Step-Parents and Children

摘要: 继父母子女间不因抚养教育事实成立拟制血亲，《民法典》第1072条第2款中的“适用”指有条件地适用父母子女关系权利义务的规定。确定继父母子女间法定继承权之有无，应以《民法典》第1127条为依据，从继父母子女是否承担相应的扶养、赡养费用，有无长期共同生活事实，以及各自的主观意愿加以认定。若相互继承权已经成立，姻亲关系的终止并不必然导致继承权消灭，而应检视姻亲关系消灭后持续性扶养事实是否继续存在分别作出判定。

Abstract: Step-parents and children do not form blood relatives because of the fact of upbringing and education. The “application” in Article 1072 (2) of the Civil Code refers to the provisions on the conditional application of the rights and ob-ligations of the relationship between parents and children. The legal right of inheritance between step-parents and children should be determined based on Article 1127 of the Civil Code, including whether the step-parents and children bear the corresponding expenses for maintenance, whether they live together for a long time, and their own subjective will. If the mutual right of inheritance has been established, the termination of the in-laws relationship does not necessarily lead to the elimination of the right of inheritance. Whether the right of inheritance still exists or not depends on the fact of continuous maintenance continues to exist or not after the termination of the in-laws relationship.
