Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Inheritance Entitlement
My father was legally adopted, he died in 1977. My paternal grandmother is still living with one natural child. She raised me as her grandson. My aunt (her natural child) believes I have no entitlement to my father's share of my grandmothers estate in the event she dies. I believe I was recently written out of the will; my aunt now handles all of my grandmothers affairs. If I am not in the will, do I have any entitlement?

Re: Inheritance Entitlement
Since your father is deceased, the only way you would come into your father's share of any inheritance if he or you were specifically written into the will. If the will is enforceable, the property goes to whomever the will gives it to.
Re: Inheritance Entitlement
No one is "entitled" to inherit things. If you're written out of the will you get zero no matter what. The adoption actually is irrelevant to the answer if there is a will.
