Re: what right do stepkids have if they were never adapted
It appears that the stepson may not be entitled to anything from the sale of the house, based on teh limited facts you provided. However, he may have inherited something through his mother, who may have passed, to him, whatever interest she had in the property (if any) when she passed.
Good Luck,
