Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut
Estranged adult childen
My husband has a son, who is 42 years old. My husband did not marry his mother and she raised him, and later married and her husband apodted the boy. My husband was not asked for support, but he married a few years later and his wife had a child (girl) now 39.
My husband and his wife and their daughter saw his son at times and he went someplaces with them. He and his 1st wife divocred 20 years ago and she is (deceased and he is now married to me for 17 years.
My husband has not seen his son for about 3 years although he knows he is welcome to come to our house with his son.
My husband is terminal ill and wants to know if his son has any legal rights to his possesions. He is not in the will.
Thank you for the help.
