Appellate Court of Illinois

In a suit seeking to exclude petitioner from the Andrew Roller Trust by virtue of the fact that he was an adopted child, orders granting summary judgement in favor of respondents and declaring that petitioner was not entitled to receive any proceeds from the Trust are reversed where the terms of the Trust do not overcome the statutory presumption that favors including adopted children in written instruments created prior to September 1, 1955.
