My Bio daughter and I have recently reconnected. She was born and adopted in Texas, but moved to Indiana when she was very young.
Her Dad died when she was very young.
Mother remarries and then dies when she is 19 or so. Her stepdad took everything, the whole estate including retirement accounts from before they were married.
Stepdad is a muslim and bio daughter was raised in that culture until she left home at age 20. Stepdad has now disowned her.
She has just been told by another family memeber that there is an adoption law in Indiana where if the adopter dies, the adoptee inherits everything no matter what the will may have said.
Does anyone know if this law exists and if it would apply? Is there such a law in Texas that might apply?
Any advice or help is appreciated.
