O reconhecimento jurídico do parentesco socioafetivo e seus reflexos no direito sucessório

Abstract

The evolution of the family concept, driven by the inclusion and recognition of various family formations rooted in affection, triggers a series of reflections on how law has adapted to these new configurations. In particular, the analysis delves into how socio-affective kinship, a bond that is not built by consanguinity but by the established affectionate relationship, reflects on the matters of legitimate succession, a field traditionally guided by blood ties. Through a literature review, jurisprudences, and analysis of legal norms, the aim is to understand how succession law has incorporated socio-affective kinship, what are the challenges and advancements in this process of recognition and equality of rights. The research aims not only to elucidate the legal dynamics surrounding socio-affective kinship and succession but also to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable dialogue about the evolution of family structures and their reflections in the Brazilian legal system.
