Are stepchildren covered under the Intestate Succession Act?
In Singapore, Intestate Succession Act governs how your assets are to be split without a Will.
However, for the purposes of the Act, step child(ren) are also not considered the step parent's child unless the they are adopted by the step parent. This means that by default without a Will they get NOTHING from the step parent's Estate!
Fun Fact: While step children are excluded from the Estate based on Intestate, they are still responsible for supporting step parents under the Maintenance of Parents Act!
