Holding

The court held that the intestacy laws in effect at the time of a decedent's death, not those in effect at the time of an adoption, govern the inheritance rights of an adopted-out child, and that the antilapse statute does not apply to a predeceased spouse because a spouse is not considered "kindred" under the statutory definition.
