Given that most adoptions are confidential complete with name suppression the chances of someone finding the adopted child to give them any kind of inheritance is extremely slim but if that actually happens it would most likely be up to the court to decide.

How do you go about letting someone to adopt your child that has full custody?

The person who has custody ( if not a biological parent where parentage is already established and adoption is not necessary or would be initiated) would need to initiate a legal adoption proceeding in the family court with jurisdiction where the child lives. As a biological parent, you are able to retain some rights, even with adoption, so you should consult with an attorney familiar with family law so those rights are outlined and incorporated into the adoption agreement, if you so wish.

Is a non biological non adopted child entitled to an estate?

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.


What if adoption was done for the sole reason in secret by dying man for wife's children to inherit?

Is that legal not to tell co-executor of inheritance fund the adopted men will inherit and also inherit more money later? The adopted dad died and the biological dad is alive. the men lived with him thru high school. The biological dad never lived with the boys and adopted them as 30 year olds after they were married. The natural dad's job is 'wealth transfer'. The mother did not tell the truth about the family time together. What I really think is an injustice is the couple did not tell the grandfather in fear? he might now give the men the money (& widow). My opinion. Is there an attorney in the house?

Does a child that has been adopted retain legal right to inherit from biological grandparents?

No. Grandparents don't have rights, only what the parents allow them to. If living in a state where grandparents have the right to petition for visitation, there is also no contact allowed if the child is adopted away. All ties are cut with the previous family.
