Question Presented (AI Summary)

Must the courts reopen the case where the entire assets of the deceased have been confiscated by an unofficially adopted child, and must the estate be re-awarded to the real biological son?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Questions Presented 1. Upon discovering through DNA testing that the presumed son of the deceased was in no way a child or a relative of the deceased but had been unofficially adopted, must the courts reopen the case where as here almost the entire assets of the deceased have already been confiscated by the unofficially adopted child and must the estate be reawarded to the real biological son of the deceased? 2. Where upon retirement of the so-called probate judge, it has been discovered that the judge never went to law school, never graduated from college and had no qualifications whatever to be a lawyer ora judge and yet she conducted hearings, made rulings on evidence and basically pretended to be a qualified lawyer and had concealed her lack of qualifications from the parties and petitioner had many times demanded that she recuse herself, must this case be reopened and relitigated before a real judge? 3. May a probate court in South Carolina take or accept jurisdiction over the estate of the deceased where the deceased had never had any property in South Carolina and had never lived, worked or resided in South Carolina but had built and owned her own home and had worked for her entire professional career as an official of the Commonwealth of Virginia in Richmond and Lynchburg Virginia but had been kidnapped and brought to South Carolina to get her money and estate?
