Disinheritance

Learn about disinheritance in estate planning. Understand how excluding heirs from wills works, legal requirements, and potential family impacts.

What does it mean to disinherit someone in a will?

Disinheritance means intentionally excluding someone who would normally inherit from your estate, such as a child or spouse. This process typically requires explicit language in your will or trust documents. Most states have specific legal requirements for disinheritance to be valid and enforceable.
