Adult Adoption

Adult adoption is a legal process through which an adult can adopt another adult, establishing a formal parent-child relationship. This can occur for various reasons, such as solidifying familial ties, inheritance rights, or providing emotional support. Unlike traditional adoption, which typically involves children, adult adoption simplifies the legal process and allows individuals to create bonds without the complexities of raising a minor. The process requires a court petition and may involve consent from both parties, while also ensuring that all legal rights and responsibilities associated with the adoption are recognized.
