Hi,
I'd be really grateful if someone could give me some advice concerning the legal situation regarding an adopted person and inheritance within the birth family.
The deceased within the birth family has died intestate (as far as we are aware - we are finalising those investigations). What claim would an adopted individual have on that estate? Were the adoption not to have taken place, the rules governing inheritance where there is no will mean that this person would clearly have a claim.
Thank you!
(I'm not asking for the moral or ethical dimension!)
