Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
biological childs rights
When I was a child I was legally adopted by my stepfather,
I have always maintained contact with my biolocical father,
who has recently died. He has no living heirs, and a rather large estate. Do I have any legal rights to his estate?

Re: biological childs rights
A legal adoption cuts off inheritance rights.
If your biological father left a will with you
in it, then you are entitled to whatever he left
you in the will.
