The Judge denied Estabon's request for DNA testing. The Judge ruled even if P is his genetic father, he is not Estabon's legal father under Minnesota law, and Estabon cannot be an heir of P.

Thank you!

You're welcome. I am glad you "got it." Its a difficult process. It confuses me too! We forgot people dont understand the legal terminology. Its aint easy.

I recently learned how insurance and estates work. So, it makes sense, even if it doesn't make sense. At this point he may or may not be P's son. Even if he is, he's not heir to anything, by law. Lovely! I don't know why people keep saying that this guy looks like P or some other guy. That doesn't determine any paternity test results. People say I look like P (to an extent) So, should I go get a paternity? Well, besides the fact that I know who my daddy is, prob not admissiable in court.

I don't feel like reading all of this, so has he been tested and stuff? whats the status

The Judge denied Estabon's request for DNA testing. The Judge ruled even if P is his genetic father, he is not Estabon's legal father under Minnesota law, and Estabon cannot be an heir of P.

we all know what the ruling was but that ruling is under appeal and the test may very well be allowed. If he is shown to be he will become a heir.


Has any such case ever gone all the way? This is the kind of case that could go all the way to the SCOTUS.

The Judge in P's case ruled that since Estabon was adopted he could not be an heir under Minnesota law. Estabon has a legal father, his adopted father, and as such he cannot be an heir to P's estate.

That there is the key phrase. Not sure why anyone has further questions on this...but I am not a lawyer so.....

I am wondering if the "key phrase" is whether the adoption was LEGAL if Prince is the bio father but he was never informed and thus was unable to consent to the adoption. If I were Estabon I would appeal that judge's ruling. Why should the estate administrators/attorneys care? The longer it drags out the more they collect in fees. LOL.

You are right about the adoption being legal, I've heard of some instances where adopting parents pay out huge sums of money for children to agencies that are not legitimate. But that's neither here nor there because the burden of finding out about the adoption rests on Estabon. If I were him, I would reach out to Taz , the other person that was adopted and ask her if she would be willing to do a DNA test and compare it to each other's. If they are not then they can both move forward with trying to find their genetic fathers.
