Docket entry
101232 Kummer v. Donak 09/16/2011 In a petition for aid and direction by an administrator of a decedent's estate, the circuit court correctly concluded that the adoption of the decedent's biological sister by another person severed the sister's legal ties to the decedent and her estate, even though the adoption was done while the sister was an adult. The adoption divested the sister and her descendants of inheritance rights running from her biological family. Thereafter, the sister's children were not the decedent's heirs-at-law and cannot inherit from her estate. The judgment is affirmed.
