To disinherit someone means to intentionally exclude them from inheriting any portion of your estate upon your death. In general, the easiest way to do this it to explicitly state in your will or trust that a particular individual will not receive any assets or property from your estate.

Disinheriting someone can be done for various reasons, such as strained relationships, disagreements, or other personal considerations. However, it's important to note that laws regarding inheritance and the rights of heirs vary by jurisdiction. In some jurisdictions, certain family members may have legal protections that prevent complete disinheritance or entitle them to a portion of the estate regardless of the deceased's wishes.

To effectively disinherit someone, it's essential to consult with a qualified estate planning attorney who can provide guidance on the legal requirements and implications of disinheriting a family member or other individual. Contact me today for a complimentary consultation.
