When your stepmother dies are you entitled to some of her estate?

Whether you are entitled to a portion of your stepmother's estate depends on several factors, including the laws of the state where she lived, whether she had a will, and the nature of her relationship with you. If she had a will that specifically bequeathed assets to you, you would be entitled to those. If there is no will, state intestacy laws generally prioritize biological children and a surviving spouse, which may exclude stepchildren. It's advisable to consult a probate attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
