Estate Planning &Your Legacy - FAQs

Disinheriting a child


Listen Later

Let’s talk about disinheriting a child. Tilden Moschetti, Esq. of the Moschetti Law Group in Calabasas, CA (https://moschettilaw.com) answers some of the frequently asked questions he and his estate planning law firm gets from clients.  

In this FAQ, we talk about disinheriting a child.   

A will or a revocable living trust can contain provisions that disinherit a child or a spouse. A lot of times this comes up when a child has a substance abuse problem, or they're very, very irrational or just it wouldn't be appropriate to leave them any money.  We advise our clients to avoid providing this explanation because it, it forecloses any possible grounds for the child to have challenging that decision of yours. 

Now, if you do decide to provide an explanation, it needs to be phrased very carefully.  

Hope this was helpful!
