In Alabama, the parent would not be considered a wrongful death beneficiary of the adult child if there are no surviving spouse or children. In Nebraska, however, the parent could potentially be considered a wrongful death beneficiary if there are no surviving spouse or children.

Yes, an adult child can sue for the wrongful death of a parent in Florida. The state's wrongful death statute allows certain family members, including adult children, to bring a lawsuit seeking damages for the loss of their parent if the death was caused by someone else's negligence or wrongful act. However, the specific requirements and procedures for filing a wrongful death claim in Florida should be discussed with a qualified attorney.
No. A parent has no responsibility to their adult children. There is no requirement that they leave them anything. They could contest the will, but that will certainly cost money, take time and not make anyone happy.
