Can I Disown My Child In My Will?

This question was posed to our office recently.

Whereas most people want to include their children in a will, you may leave your child out of your will. Better yet, I would set a will up so that people who may think that you want them to have something get something. For example, people that you wish to exclude, name them in your will. Give them $1.00. This lets the court know that you have not accidentally left them out of your will, and they are getting just what you want them to get. Whether it be a child or anyone else that you really don't want to be in your will, the law office of Andrew Farmer can help you.
