Generally, a step-child has no inheritance rights unless they were legally adopted by the decedent. You should consult with the attorney who is handling the estate or with an attorney who specializes in probate in your particular jurisdiction if you think you may have any claim.

No rights. Step-children do not have any rights to the step parents' estate unless they are included in the will, or adopted (and therefore actual children, not step.)

Step children have no rights to the property. The children are entitled to half the estate. The step parent would get the other half.

Our mother deeded property to only one child. Do children have a right to parent's property if deeded to only one child?

A mother who is competent is absolutely free to choose to convey her property to one child and that child would own the property. In many cases there is a child who helps the parent more than the other children. Children have no "right" to a living parent's property. A parent can distribute her own property during her lifetime to anyone she chooses. A different situation would arise if the parent is incompetent and taken advantage of by an unscrupulous child. In that case you should seek the advice of an attorney.

As a general rule no. Children are generally not responsible for a living parents debt.

Also if you have ever cosigned for a parent you would be subject to repayment of the debt if your parent defaults.
