Does the law entitle a step-son or step-daughter to inherit from a step-parent ?

No ! While an adopted child is entitled to inherit from an adoptive parent, a step-child is not, according to the 1965 Inheritance Act. A step-child is not included in the list of family members entitled to inherit when a person dies without living a will.
