In the state of Tennessee if I was adopted as a baby do I have any rights to my biological father's estate if my "sister" recorded a quit claim deed 3 days before his death giving everything to her. His wish was to divide equally and I have no knowlege of a will. Do I have any rights. He and I had a close relationship.
Answer
If you are an adopted child you'll have the same rights as biological children. If there is no will you may seek to set aside the quit claim deed if you can establish undue influence on your father. I'd encourage you to seek out an attorney immediately.
While you may be able to set aside the deed if it is in the sister, you may be in a different circumstance if she goes and borrows money on it or sells the property to a third party. Time is not on your side. Move now.
