Sally is in a dispute with her half sister Jane and adopted brother Gregory over the outcome of their parent's estate. Sally has a full blood brother named Andrew and a full blood sister named Elionora, both of whom basically said "I don't want to get involved."

There is $820,000 in the estate from their parents. The will of the parents says "our estate shall be divided equally amongst our children."

Sally says that the funds shouldn't go to half siblings or adopted siblings. Gregory shows up at your law office, seeking advice. You do some research, and find the following case:

In re: Estate of Papagorgeo, where the court found the once an adoption is complete, the adopted child has the full legal rights and standing as a child of the adopting parents. The court emphasis that outcomes on wills must reflect the wishes of the decedent (the deceased parents) and be as equitable as possible.
