Yes, an adopted child is considered a legal heir. Once the adoption process is completed, they have the same legal rights as a biological child. These include the right to inherit property and finances from their adoptive parents, either through a will or, if no will is present, under intestate succession laws. They also have rights to any social security benefits, pensions, or other benefits the adoptive parents receive. Thus, an adopted child is treated as a full and legitimate member of the family under the law.
