First, a child adopted by the spouse of a biologic First, a child adopted by the spouse of a biological parent does not lose the right to inherit from either natural parent. The most obvious example here would be where one natural parent dies and the surviving natural parent remarries. 

Second, a child adopted by a person “related by consanguinity to the adopted” child does not lose their right to inherit from their natural parents. In other words, if the adoptive parent and the adopted child share a common ancestor, then the child may inherit from both the adoptive parent and the natural parent(s). 

This situation is surprisingly common because family members – siblings, aunts and uncles, even grandparents – are often the first to step in to adopt a child when the natural parent(s) have passed or are no longer able to care for a child. 

Are you facing the probate of a loved one’s estate with questions as to heirs and distributions? We have seen it all and would be glad to discuss.
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed this p Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed this past July, the federal estate and gift tax exemption will increase to $15 million per person and $30 million for married couples in 2026. 

Additionally, the annual gift tax exclusion will be set at $19,000 per recipient or $38,000 per recipient for married couples, allowing someone to give substantial gifts to loved ones before even reaching the federal estate and gift tax exemption. 

Although federal estate taxes have seen significant increases in the exemption, Massachusetts estate taxes will stay at $2 Million.
