In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to a mother's question about her estate and including her daughter she gave up for adoption years ago.
I’m in a quandary about what to do about a daughter I gave up for adoption many years ago.My husband and I have three other children who are doing well.
The daughter I recently found is extremely successful professionally and financially, much more so than our other kids.How you divide your estate should be entirely up to you. Presumably your newly discovered biological daughter has parents who raised her well, who love her, and who will perhaps provide for her in their wills.
You don’t mention having met your biological daughter in person, yet , and so, if possible, you should table this question until you have more of a present-day relationship with her. Discuss this and any other estate-planning questions with a lawyer, who can review the legal options and consequences of your choice.
