dual inheritance

Read a random definition: assumpsit

A quick definition of dual inheritance:

Dual inheritance is when someone inherits property or money from both their adopted family and their biological family. This can happen if a relative of the biological parent adopts the child. For example, if a child's mother dies and the maternal grandparents adopt the grandchild, the child may be entitled to two separate shares of inheritance. In some places, the child can only inherit one share, while in others they can inherit the larger of the two.

A more thorough explanation:

Dual inheritance refers to the inheritance received by an adopted child through both their adopted family and their biological parent. This can become a problem if a relative of the biological parent adopts the child, as the child may qualify for two separate shares of inheritance.

If a child's mother dies and the maternal grandparents adopt the grandchild, and if a grandparent then dies without a will, the child may qualify for two separate shares of inheritance - one as a child and the other as a grandchild. In some places, the child is only allowed to inherit the adopted child's share, while in others, they take the larger of the two shares.
