Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span>:<\/span> <\/strong>Dear lawyers of PL & Partners Law Firm, I have a question as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2008, my parents adopted a child. On August 25, 2021, my mother died due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because she died quite suddenly, she did not leave a will. Now, the adopted child of my parents wants to divide the estate left by my mother. So I have this question, is an adopted child entitled to inherit the estate as a natural child? Could you help me find the answer? I\u2019m looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n
