<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2102544, member: 28107&quot;]I advise the OP to consult with an attorney.&nbsp; Most states (read as every one that I am aware of) will treat an adopted child the same as a biological child for purposes of intestate succession statutes.&nbsp; In other words, it might not matter whether his &quot;blood&quot; relatives are on board with you taking the items or not if the adopted child is the sole heir at law.&nbsp; It might not be theirs to give away.&nbsp; And if there is a will, then obviously that would apply.&nbsp; Who is the administrator or executor of the estate?&nbsp; That is the person you need to speak with and to confirm it with the adopted children.&nbsp; Get everything in writing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
