You signed over your parental rights to another person and that person died. Your contract with the other person is no longer in force. That contract is null and void. However, a court decision related to that contract may not be null and void. Still, since the original agreement no longer exists, it is worth looking into. The child exists and needs a parent. The judge decides what to do. It may or may not be a quick decision on the judge's part.
