Dear Listmates,

A father relinquished parental rights regarding his daughter who was then adopted by another father. The relinquishing father is named as a beneficiary in his mother's Will. The bequest is per stirpes and father predeceased his mother. Is the daughter entitled to the per stirpes bequest in the Will?

Email responses only, please.

Thank you.

Very truly yours,

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never trust wiring instructions sent via email. Cyber criminals are hacking email accounts and sending emails with fake wiring instructions. These emails are convincing and sophisticated. Always independently confirm wiring instructions in person or via a telephone call to a trusted and verified phone number. Never wire money without double checking that the wire instructions are correct.
