    California inheritance law are children of incest entitled to inheritance ?
    A man impregnates his daughter then unsuccessfully tries to kill his wife before committing suicide. The daughter has a child,and the wifecontinues the relationship which set off the event,and lives in the original house with the new husband.Other property owned by the deceased is presumably placed in a trust of unknown holdership. Is the child entitled to inheritance as a child of the deceased? As a grandchild?

    No matter what happened within the dynamics of the family; he impregnates his daughter and she has his grandchild. That's the way I see it. It would take a court of law to determine the outcome of any property inherited if it was going to be disputed by the widow.

    But yes, what party are you in this grouping ? A family member or just an interested person. Unless you are a family member I wouldn't think it would be any of your business.

    The wife gets the estate of the man who committed suicide.

    If there is a will or trust leaving money to any children of the man who committed suicide, yes, the child from incest is a child, and would have equal rights to other children.

    And I have to teel you that I would debate being his grandchild, rather I think it would be equally valid to be defined as his son.
