Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

I was adopted @ 6 weeks old. I am now 52. Both parents are deceased and atrust was set up leaving the 80 acre farm to MY son and cash to my daughters. My son is now 21 and basically a greedy idiot and wants to obtain title to the farm and sell it. I have alife estate on the farm. As an adopted person with no siblings, under Ohio law am I not entitled to a percentage of each deceased parents estate? Trying to prevent my son from selling the farm.

My first thoughts are thought the terms of the trust would control who can do what with the farm property. The terms of the trust may allow your son to sell the property or may not on account of you having a life estate in the land.

If you'd like to discuss your case further at no cost to you, feel free to contact me.
