After termination of parental rights, is the child entitled to inheritance if that parent dies without a will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The right of inheritance by the blood child is cut off by the giving up parental rights and by the subsequent adoption by the new husband of the wife, unless you include her in a will or trust as a specific beneficiary.

After termination of parental rights, is the child entitled to inheritance if that parent dies without a will?

Normally not. Of course, the biological parent can still provide for the child in their estate planning documents.

Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

Hello, The life insurance is not subject to creditor claims. The creditors can make claims against the estate, if there is one. It sounds like there will not be one, in your case.
