Rights of Adopted Children.

In a full-fledged opinion by Justice Austin, the First Department determined, as a case of first impression, an adopted child of the decedent should share in trusts created by the decedent even though the decedent’s wife surrendered the child for a second adoption eight years after the adoptive father’s death and the admission of his will to probate.  The opinion includes a discussion of the rights of adopted children in this context.  Matter of Svenningsen, 2010-11057, 2010-11113, 2010-11114 Second Dept. 2-6-13
