Half blood
Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-002388
The relationship between two individuals who share only one common parent. This kinship affects inheritance rights, as some jurisdictions treat half-blood relatives differently from whole-blood relatives in intestacy laws. For example, a half-sibling may inherit a smaller share or be excluded if whole-blood relatives exist.
