浅析继父母子女之间的法定继承权

Analysis of the Legal Inheritance Right between Step Parents and Children

民法理论上一般认为,继父母子女之间的关系有两种:一为名义型,一为扶养型。依《民法典》第1127条的规定,扶养型的继父母、继子女相互之间享有继承权。但法律对继父母子女之间何为形成扶养关系并未作出具体规定,导致理论上和实务中的争议都很大。在继承纠纷中,认定继父母子女之间是否形成扶养关系,应根据共同生活的事实、共同生活的时间、抚养教育的义务的履行、生养死葬义务的履行等因素综合审慎判定。

In civil law theory,it is generally believed that there are two types of relationship between step parents and children,one is nominal,the other is dependent.According to article 1127 of the Civil Code,foster step parents and step children have the right to inherit from each other.However,the law does not make specific provisions on how to form a dependency relationship between step parents and children,leading to great disputes in theory and practice.In inheritance disputes,to determine whether a foster relationship has been formed between stepparents and children,we should make a comprehensive and prudent judgment according to the fact of living together,the time of living together,the performance of the obligation of upbringing and education,the performance of the obligation of living,raising,dying and burying,etc.
