Question

when are "adopted" children allowed heirs to an estate. Is legal adoption required?



Answer

Your question makes no sense. Adoption is a legal process. A person can include anyone they want in their will.



Answer

Your question makes no sense. Adoption is a court process which is not legal or complete until a judge grants it. An adopted child is treated the same as any other child in an estate. Having said that, parents can, in some cases, by will, disinherit children, and they can also leave things to children or adults they are not legally related to.
