Financial and inheritance law implications in Tilburg
Upon revocation of adoption pursuant to Article 1:231 of the Dutch Civil Code in Tilburg, the family law ties lapse, with direct consequences for inheritance law and maintenance. The adopted child loses its claim to the inheritance of the adoptive parents and vice versa. In the Tilburg region, where many families litigate at the Court of Appeal 's-Hertogenbosch, swift handling is essential.
Maintenance obligations end, unless pending cases at the District Court of East Brabant in Tilburg provide otherwise. This requires careful settlement to protect the child's best interests, with attention to local youth and family support via the municipality of Tilburg.
Key consequences specific to Tilburg
1. Inheritance law
The child is legally considered the biological child of the original parents. Testamentary provisions must be revised by a notary in Tilburg; existing gifts generally remain intact. Local notaries in the Spoorzone often advise on this transition.
2. Maintenance and benefits
The duty to maintain does not end retroactively, but future payments cease. For minors in Tilburg, temporary bridging may apply via the Participation Act or Youth Act, to be applied for at the town hall.
3. Name and registers
Name change follows automatically, with adjustment in the Personal Records Database via the municipality of Tilburg. This also affects social security rights at UWV offices in the Central Brabant region.
Parties in Tilburg must proactively arrange administrative changes at UWV Tilburg and a local notary for full legal effects, including consultation of law firms around Heuvelstraat.
