What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania, Delaware County
My husband was born out of wedlock in 1946. His mother married when he was 6 years old and together they raised my husband until we married in 1970. However, his stepfather never legally adopted him. He treated my husband as his own child, and paid for his entire support. My husband went all through school and US Army (Viet Nam) with his stepfather's last name. In 1980 we discovered that my husband had 7 brothers and 1 sister by his biological father. When we approached his mother, she became beligerant and would not discuss anything with us. She actually stopped talking to us for 10+ years. In 1980 we changed our last name (and our son's last name) to match his biological father's last name, even he had passed away just 1 year previously. My husband's stepfather passed away in 1995 and we have been taking care of his mother ever since. My question: is my husband entitled to any inheritance from his stepfather's sister's estate? Thank you for your help.
