In a per stirpes distribution, stepchildren are typically not included unless explicitly mentioned in the will or estate plan. Per stirpes means that the estate is divided equally among branches of the family, and only biological or legally adopted children of the deceased typically inherit. If a stepchild has been legally adopted by the deceased, they would be treated as a biological child for distribution purposes. Otherwise, stepchildren do not have a claim to the estate under standard per stirpes rules.

The imidiate family has the right to their fathers 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.

So unless the grandchild is mentioned in the will or the parents are deceased, the grandchild will not inherit the grandparents.
The adoption wiped out any rights to the estate as an heir. However, if she was listed in the will, yes, she can make a claim.
