to sell my husband's mother passed so in the will it says her part goes to her child. Now the brother passed and his part go to his children. he has 3 but only 2 he is on the birth certificate. they are trying to leave out the 3rd child. can she get a dna to stand for her right and part
A: Under Michigan’s Estates and Protected Individuals Code, a child is also defined as someone with whom the parent had an openly acknowledged parent-child relationship which continued until death of the parent. The 3rd wouldn’t necessarily have to have a DNA test or birth certificate to prove she has the right to inherit from the parent’s estate. You, or the 3rd child, should talk to a qualified lawyer in your area who can help in this situation.
