Estate Law - Testamentary Rights of an Adopted Grandchild Adopted After the Death of the Testator

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has held that a testator\u27s grandchild, who was adopted after the testator\u27s death, was entitled to share in a testamentary disposition of trust income to his daughter\u27s children, if any, after her death. The Court allowed this distribution where it was clearly shown that the testator knew at the time he executed his will that his daughter could have no children and already had adopted one, who subsequently died.
