Estate Settlements (Wills & Trusts)

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 13:51:00 GMT

My sister and I were adopted by our step father. We
have always stayed in contact with our biological father.
He died on 2/5/01. Our birth certificates show our
step father as our father. Do we have any legal rights
to our biological father's estate? He has no other heirs.
Columbus Ohio

  • looks like no one knows what to say to us. Either that or no one knows what their talking about

  • I know. Maybe it is because they don't know
    Ohio laws. I was talking to a guy here who is
    a Notary, and he said since we were adopted we
    have NO rights
