    Last blood relative living
    I was adopted by my step father at 11 yo and am now 22. My biological father has been charged with manslaughter of his mother , my biological grandmother. There was no will. If he does get convicted, can I come in on the esstate even though my adoption papers state all lieage was broken, since I am the only living blood relative. Or with her estate just go to the state?
    Thanks

    Of course there are often other relations, cousins, newphews and others that may have a claim.

    But yes it is possible for you to make a claim, if there is no one to challenge you, it is possible. Please get an attorney.

    Hello pooh:

    You assume that a conviction would bar your father from receiving his inheritance. I don't think it does. It WOULD, however, stop him from receiving the proceeds from her life insurance policy.

    IF there WAS a policy, you might get a piece of that. The Padre is right. You need a lawyer.
