What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania/South Carolina
I am in my mid 30's and a close friend her late 60's who has been like a mother to me for many, many years would like to adopt me. I understand that I would be legally severing ties with my biological family. The only family connection that I do have is a maternal grandmother. If I were to be adopted, how would this affect my relationship with my grandmother? If she were to leave me anything in her estate, would I have pay additional taxes because I am no longer legally related to her? I am in Pennsylvania and my grandmother resides in South Carolina.
