Unless the "child" is an adult there generally is no estate. If they are an adult the relative nearest to them inherits For instance, my estate would go to my mother since she is my nearest living relative.
Yes, you can disinherit a child by will. If there was no will, the child would take equally with his siblings via intestacy.
If your parents' will specified that the estate is to be divided equally among all siblings, then your sister is not entitled to take more than her share without the agreement of the other siblings. If she has taken personal belongings without consent, you may need to consult with a lawyer to address the situation legally.
The emotional benefits are well-documented. But an equally important point is that both of his parents, and his siblings, taught him of his Israelite heritage.
No. Adoption removes the rights to the biological parents' estate.
No. The estate will be divided according to the Alabama laws of intestate succession. Under Alabama law when there is no surviving spouse the issue of the decedent, if they are all of the same degree of kinship (children) to the decedent they take equally, but if of unequal degree, then those of more remote degree take by representation (children of a predeceased child will take their parent's share and then share it equally amongst themselves). See related link.
Every state has laws that determine the distribution of a decedent's property when there is no will so you have to check that state's laws. But generally, spouses and descendants will take first. If there are no spouse and no children and no children of predeceased children, then the estate goes up the line to the parents. If there are no parents the estate goes to the decedent's siblings in equal shares. If there are some living children and some predeceased children, then the children of that predeceased child takes the share that the predeceased child would have taken.
The estate is responsible for paying off any debts. However, in most cases if the debts exceed the value of the estate, the child is not required to pay the difference. This may not keep the collectors from trying.
you have got to be understanding, do not favour one child, have the same rules for all the siblings.
They both equally are responsible for the financial, emotional and physical well being of the child.
A foster child have no birth right after their foster parents so it's only if they are mentioned in the will.
I think that would be paid out of the estate and not by the child.
