Is a child who was adopted after the biological father signed over parental rights entitled to any of the biological father's estate?

If you live in the US (and without knowing the state) generally speaking, adoptive or biological is irrelevant. If there's a will and the child is not named, the child gets nothing, unless they can successfully contest the legality of the will (which takes a strong case).

∙ 14y agoTypically, the biological child has no rights to the biological parent's estate if the child has been adopted by a different person (i.e., the bChild was adopted into a different family and there are NO legal ties back to the bParents). I am looking for exceptions to this now...

∙ 14y agoOnce a child is an adult, there typically is no more child support.
Once a child has been adopted, the child support typically ends.
The person that was supposed to be paid the child support can sue for owed money. If they are no longer living, the estate can sue for it. There are statute of limitations that apply to how long afterwards this can happen.

∙ 13y agoYes, adoption terminates the parent child relationship of the biological father, so unless the biological father had a will, the child is not legally his child.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo. Adoption severs all legal connections between the two. However, the adopted child is entitled to make a claim on their adopted father's estate.

I was adopted when i was 6 my biological father died a few days ago since he's not on my birth cert how can i prove for social security that i am his biological child?
Since you were adopted by another man at age 6 and now go by his surname I don't think you can be considered you biological fathers child in the eyes of the law now. Your biological fathers name is not on your birth certificate. You could try and see if social security would except a DNA sample from your biological fathers other children to prove that you are his child or maybe your biological fathers parents(this would be better) if any of them would do that for you.
