In UK law when you are adopted, you cease to be legally the child of your natural parents and are not entitled to anything from their estate when they die, nor from anyone else from their family, e.g. your natural grandparents. You are legally a member of your new adopted family, and legally no longer a relative of the former "birth" family.

If you were legally adopted by your grandparents they are now your legal parents. However your birth father can put you in his will to inherit part of his estate.

How can you think of such a thing is that all your dad means to you is the size of his bank balance you should be ashamed of yourself.When my father passed away yes he left me money in his will but Id give every last penny of it away if I could have just one day with him now.

If you were legally adopted, you are part of your adoptive family. Unless your natural father names you in his will....

No, not legally and not morally, and not ethically. When you were adopted, your biological father gave up his parental rights to you, and he is legally no longer your father. And when you were adopted, your adoptive parents legally became your parents. Your rights to inheritance is from your adoptive parents, not your biological ones.

Nope. Only legal dependants are deferred entitled to an estate.

No. When your grandparents adopted you, your birthfather lost any rights to you at all. Since you were adopted by family, he may have you in his will.

Yes, it's a birth-right. Even if you were adopted by his blood relatives.

ONly if he leaves you something in his will. Doesn't sound like the kind of guy who would have his kids in mind when and if he writes a will.
