They may have rights depending on the details and state laws.
If the parent died intestate, or without a will, a legally adopted child will inherit a portion of the estate under the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link provided below.
In some states a child who is not mentioned in a will may receive an intestate share because a testator who wished to disinherit a child must mention that child specifically in the will or the court will assume the omission was unintentional. The laws vary from state to state on this issue.
You need to consult with an attorney or call the attorney who is handling the estate.

∙ 15y agoGenerally a legally adopted child is a legal heir of their parents. They would have the same rights a biological child would have under the state laws. You would need to check the laws in your jurisdiction. For a listing of state laws of intestacy see the related question below.

Is a non biological non adopted child entitled to an estate?
Since this is the adoption category I assume you mean not the biological grandchildren but foster kids who have never been adopted. And no, they have no right at all to anything their foster family leaves behind unless they are mentioned in the will. If you mean biological children they inherit their parents who in their turn inherit their parents, your grandparents. So unless the grandchild is mentioned in the will or the parents are deceased, the grandchild will not inherit the grandparents.

No! Once a child is adopted they are legally the child of the adoptive parents. The only way that child could be a step-child is if the adoptive parents divorce and the custodial parent re-marries. Then the child becomes a step-child to the new parent.
