Generally, a foster child can claim rights to an estate if the decedent died intestate (without a will) depending on the laws of the jurisdiction. Some states include foster children in the definition of "children" for inheritance purposes, while others may require specific legal relationships or formal adoption. It is recommended to consult with a probate attorney for guidance on specific laws in the relevant jurisdiction.
