Since this is the adoption category I assume you mean not the biological grandchildren but foster kids who have never been adopted. And no, they have no right at all to anything their foster family leaves behind unless they are mentioned in the will.
If you mean biological children they inherit their parents who in their turn inherit their parents, your grandparents. So unless the grandchild is mentioned in the will or the parents are deceased, the grandchild will not inherit the grandparents.

∙ 9y agoHopefully, there is a will that states the bequest to the child or its trust. Other, biological children may have rights if not. The will may stand as it is, particularly if all children are named. Seek legal advice.

∙ 9y agoNo. Entitled refers to those who would have a claim to an estate under the laws of intestacy. If the child is not a biological issue of the decedent and was not legally adopted by the decedent then the child was not a child "of the decedent". In that case that child would not be entitled to the decedent's estate. If you have further questions you should contact the attorney who is handling the estate.
