 The provisions of Chapter 2 of Title 2 of this Book shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Adoption of a child does not create a right to succeed to the inheritance of the adopted child as his or her statutory heir on account of such adoption.

If an adopted child who has no spouse or descendant dies before the adopter, the adopter has the right to claim the return from the mass of the inheritance of the adopted child of the property he or she has given to the adopted child, only to the extent that remains after the liquidation of the mass of the inheritance is finished.

An action to exercise the claim according to paragraph 1 shall not be instituted upon the passage of one year from the time the adopter knows or should know of the death of the adopted child or upon the passage of ten years from the day of the death of the adopted child.

If an adopted child has already attained majority, adoption of the child may be rescinded at any time by mutual agreement between the adopter and the adopted child.
