Should you look for your birth parents, who may have left you their estate?

What is the specific wording as to the "estate"? This doesn't make sense to me either as adoption generally addresses the desire of the parties and the legality to adopt, not any inheritance.

Get a certified copy of her death certificate and take that along with the adoption papers and contact an attorney on the state on which your adoptive mother died. I never heard of adoption papers making mention of an estate.

You would need to hire an attorney to help you through this complex issue.
