Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
Louisiana Inheritance Law
When the father died, four biological children (3 adults, one minor) survived him. The handwritten will which is thought to be fake leaves everything to his mother except stock to one child and a house to the mother of the minor, stating she could not sell the house and had to allow the minor child to live there. The third child applied to handle the estate. Nothing was left to her. The fourth child, the firstborn, was not mentioned. If the will can be determined to be a fake, would the firstborn child--who had been adopted at the age of ten by the second husband of the mother-- have any claim to a portion of the $600,000 estate?

Re: Louisiana Inheritance Law
If the will is a fake it is void & the intestate (no will) rules of the father's state of residence apply.
