Named Beneficiary in Trust is Adopted - Is That Considered Consanguinity or Not

No, adoption is not considered consanguinity because it refers specifically to a blood relationship. Adoption creates a legal family relationship without any biological connection. In cases like this, before creating the trust a change to the reference "consanguinity" would need to be changed to "ofan affine" as this relates to marriage and adoptions.
