Question
Elena died intestate and unmarried. Zoe was legally adopted by Elena. Mark was Elena's stepchild, but Elena never adopted him. Iris was Elena's biological child, but Iris was adopted as a child by unrelated adoptive parents after Elena relinquished parental rights. The state follows the general modern parent-child rules for intestacy and has no equitable-adoption doctrine applicable on these facts.
Who qualifies as Elena's descendant for purposes of intestate succession?
