Question 25445 — family

Summary

Mr. Jean-Christophe Lagarde draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the reporting in the parents' family book of the extract from the death certificate of an unmarried adult child. Indeed, article 3 of Decree No. 77-449 of May 15, 1974 as amended relating to the family record book specifies that the family record book is subsequently supplemented, in particular, by: “Extracts from the death certificates of children who died before their majority”. Following This article, parents whose single adult child without children dies find themselves unable to enter the death certificate extract in their family record book for the sole reason that the child is no longer a minor and they are therefore no longer its legal representatives. However, as some citizens confronted with this situation explain: “our child is condemned to becoming a free electron”. Moreover, before the publication of the said decree, families had the possibility of registering the death of children without any age limit. Also, he asks him to modify the regulations in force so that parents can enter in their family record the extract from the death certificate of the adult child. Such a modification, apart from the fact that it could facilitate the grieving process of parents, would put an end to an absurd situation.
