[Rev. 2012] Children CAP. 141 (2) Where a child to whom any such order, decree or agreement as aforesaid relates is adopted by his mother and the mother is a single mother, the order, decree or agreement shall not cease to have effect by virtue of subsection (1) upon the making of the adoption order, but shall cease to have effect if she subsequently marries. (3) Where an adoption order is made in respect of a child committed to the care of foster parents, a voluntary children’s institution or a children’s institution or a rehabilitation school by a care order in force under this Act, the care order shall cease to have effect; and in any case any contribution order made in respect to the child shall cease to have effect, but without prejudice to the recovery of any arrears which are due under the order at the date of the adoption order. 174. Intestacies, wills and settlements (1) Where, at any time after the making of an adoption order, the adopter or the adopted person or any other person dies intestate in respect of any movable or immovable property (other than property subject to an entailed interest under a disposition made before the date of the adoption order), that property shall devolve in all respects as if the adopted person were the child of the adopter born inside marriage and were not the child of any other person. (2) In any disposition of movable or immovable property made, whether by instrument inter vivos or will (including codicil), at the date of an adoption order— (a) any reference (whether express or implied) to the child or children of the adopter shall, unless the contrary intention appears, be construed as, or as including, a reference to the adopted person; (b) any reference (whether express or implied) to the child or children of the adopted person’s natural parents or either of them shall, unless the contrary intention appears, be construed as not being or as not including, a reference to the adopted person; and (c) any reference (whether express or implied) to a person related to the adopted person in any degree shall, unless the contrary intention appears, be construed as a reference to the person who would be related to him in that degree if he were the child of the adopter born inside marriage and were not the child of any other person. (3) Where under any disposition any movable or immovable property or any interest in such property is limited (whether subject to any proceedings limitation or charge or not) in such a way that it would, apart from this section, devolve (as nearly as the law permits) along with a dignity or title or honour, whether or not the disposition contains an express reference to the dignity or title or honour and whether or not the property may in some event become severed therefrom, nothing in this section shall operate to sever the property or any interest therein from the dignity, but the property or interest shall devolve in all respect as if this section had not been enacted. 175. Provisions supplementary to section 174 (1) For the purpose of the application of any written law for the time in force in Kenya relating to the devolution of any property in accordance with section 174 C15 - 81 [Issue 1]
