Location: PA My full sister and I have been estranged from our bio dad for over 30 years. When our grandma died she was money hungry and tried to take me to court over the 50k estate. I love my stepdad to pieces and want him to adult adopt me. Our bio dad died recently and in his will it says all his money (it’s significant) goes to his “beloved grandsons” which is my son and her son whom he never met (names aren’t even listed in the will). If I go through this adoption before the estate is settled can she come back and claim since I’m no longer his daughter her son gets everything?

Short answer: yes, most likely.
If your stepfather does an adult adoption, that severs the tie between you and your father. Making your son no longer legally his grandson.
