Does the right of representation apply

to adopted children?
No. The right of representation cannot be invoked by adopted children because they cannot
represent their adopting parents to the inheritance of the latters parents.
Reason: The law does not create any relationship between the adopted child and the relatives of the
adopting parents, not even to the biological or legitimate children of the adopting parents.
Note: Under R.A. 8552 or the Domestic Adoption Law, the adopted child and the adopting parents
have reciprocal successional rights.
