flag Former AG clarifies adopted children generally inherit like biological children.

flag Eric T. Schneiderman, a former New York attorney general, recently answered a reader's question regarding inheritance laws. flag The reader asked if an adopted child can be excluded from a will if the biological parent is the sole heir. flag Schneiderman clarified that generally, adopted children are treated as biological children for inheritance purposes. flag This means they are entitled to the same share of the estate as biological children, unless the will explicitly states otherwise.
