What do being born posthumously mean?

Being born posthumously means that a person is born after the death of one or both of their parents. This can occur through various means, such as in vitro fertilization, where the child is conceived before the parent's death but born afterward. In legal contexts, posthumous births can have implications for inheritance rights and the status of the child in relation to their deceased parent. The term highlights the unique circumstances surrounding the child's birth and identity.
