    Adopted is an legal child, no difference in adopted as one that is born to the person.

    They would have same rights as a birth child will.

    Often for probate an attorney should be used

    Legal adopted is not the question!! It is do her siblings get anything from her adopted family side if no one has seen a will stating so. No her siblings are not adopted in the same family

    Has anyone actually gone to court or filed anything in the courts? Has anyone been served any eviction notices? Have there been any court rulings?

    Here are some guidelines that may help.

    And the question has been answered. When she was adopted any relationship with her bio family was severed. So her bio family is not entitled to anything from her estate unless she leaves it to them in a will.

    My aunt and her nephew came up with a oloagraphic will .Took this to courthouse and made themselves adminstrators in 1991 .divide land by will and then nothing else done aunt died. Other aunt didn't sign off on deal. No one received notice until all was done. Now 2014 we are trying it again, the will was not presented until 1991 but my grandpa died in 1965, no final court rulings

    You are trying to say that a holographic will (i.e.: in the grandfather's handwriting) was found in or about 1991 and that, although some sort of probate proceeding was started, nothing was finalized?

    Doesn't matter, really. As has already been stated, the issue of the aunt's biological siblings are not legally related to her and will inherit nothing unless they are specifically provided for in the will.

    I could have sworn that you (or someone) said that the adopted child was related to the people who adopted her! That matters.
    In post 21 - it is mentioned that an 'aunt' of the op did the adopting, then in post 21 it is mentioned that is was a 'distant cousin'...

    Your posts are very confusing. I don't mean any disrespect, but the way you write, makes it very difficult to understand what you're asking. I'm just as confused as everyone else. Everyone is guessing because we really have no idea what you're saying, and that's because of the way you're writing our posts.

    I can't give you legal advice, but I can give you advice that will make the advice you get from our legal experts, more accurate.

    We can't read your mind, we can only read what you write. The better you write it, the more info you give, the clearer it is, the better the advice. You have to write it well, use complete sentences, punctuation, and tell the story as if you're telling it to someone that doesn't know anything about your situation, which we don't. There is not limit on what you write, you don't have to shorten it to fit, you can write pages of info if you want. The clearer you are, the better the advice you get.

    We can only help you if you help us by giving the correct information in a clear and concise way. So far you've really failed at that. Again, no offense, but so far no one has pointed out that your posts are impossible to understand, and that's the only reason you're not getting the best advice we can give. Be clear, detailed, spell it out. We can only base our advice on what you write.

    Agreed - just fyi - in my original post (#29) I meant to say in post 4 an aunt is mentioned, not post 21 - post 21 mentions the distant cousin (who also, apparently, is a temple). I've been having a heck of a time using the editing feature lately...

    4 - Adopted child died with no known will, her husband predeceased her, and they had no children.

    We really need to know what 'siblings' you refer to, original or in the adopted family, or both!

    In any event, without knowing who had wills or not, and what they said, we can't begin to answer this.
    LA law is unlike any other state in the US. You all need a LA lawyer.
