Re: grandmother in need
The son given up for adoption under Louisiana law still has a right to inherit from his biological dad. However, if your step-grandfather is lucid, he can write a will giving everything to anyone he choses if he has no children 23 years of age or under. Why is your grandmother divorcing him if they are so tight? Also, just my note, but you need to put some punctuation in your correspondence because it makes it very hard to follow your inquiry.
