OPINION
BOURCIER, Justice.
In this case, the latest chapter in the bizarre saga of Belcourt Castle, a once majestic Newport mansion, we are called upon to determine whether Kevin Tinney, a/k/a Kevin Jacob Koellisch, is entitled pursuant to G.L.1956 § 33-1-10 to share in the intestate distribution of his adoptive and now deceased mother’s personal estate. The case comes to us on an appeal from a Superior Court final judgment declaring that he is entitled to do so.
