$1 to exclude child from will?
Disinheriting a child from an estate is not something that many people do. However, it can be done by the parent in certain situations. While disinheriting a child may seem harsh, there are reasons why you might want to do so.
In most families, it is common for a parent to leave their entire
estate to a child. However, there are times when both the parents and the children may not agree or are at odds. In these cases, disinheriting a child from an estate can be beneficial for everyone involved.
If a child is left out of a will can they contest it?
If your parents have died and you're not happy with their will, it may be possible to contest the will. A qualified probate attorney can help guide you through the process of filing a contest in court against your parent's last will.
The process of contesting a Last Will and Testament can be long and very expensive. If there are high value assets, then it might be worth fighting for. However, if there is not much, then tens of thousands of dollars might be wasted fighting over the toaster.
The problem of heirs fighting over the little items has become prevalent recently, and we made a video about the problem. That video can be watch on our YouTube channel here.
If you need to write a child out of your Last Will, then make certain it is done correctly. Otherwise, you might open the door and give them a perfect opportunity to contest your Last Will and deprive your actually beneficiaries.
