The article discusses the German law effective in July 1970 that reformed the civil rights of illegitimate children. The legislation granted illegitimate offspring the status of being legally related to their fathers and hence eligible for inheritance and paternal financial support. Specific regulations are cited on the illegitimate child's adoption of a family name, establishing paternity, and inheritance rights.
