Yet another court, in a similar case, ruled that a child conceived around 20 years after the father’s death COULD lay claim to and inherit his estate! LOL. I think it was in California.

My first reaction was that the child should be entitled. After all - why would the father have his sperm frozen!!

But, as I read further - the father did NOT do this.. the mother did.

In the case you cite - it's obvious the father did intend on his sperm being used to father a chlld, since he had his sperm frozen 20 years earlier.

It doesn't appear to me that these cases are similar.
