Re: Child left out of estate of dead father
The answer to your question depends upon whether your cousin left a will and, if so, whether the will mentioned that Briana was his child.
Re: Child left out of estate of dead father
We are very sorry to hear this. If there was a will and Briana was named therein, then the woman at issue must legally probate the will and communicated with Briana if she was named as a beneficiary. However, if there was no will, Briana may still have some inheritance rights, but swift action must be taken here.
