    What makes you think you have been cut out? If the will hasn't been read you don't know what's in it.

    But since you were never adopted you may not have any legal rights.

    You have no legal rights to anything, the only thing you will get is what he gave you in the will.

    If he cut you out completely you get nothing, so you need to review the will.
