Can I disclaim a relative from my inheritance?

Sometimes, clients come to our office not to specifically delineate their family members and loved ones in their will, but to intentionally disinherit, or “disclaim” certain family members from receiving any inheritance, or gaining the power to make important decisions, on your behalf.

So, it is entirely possible, and not all that uncommon, to disinherit certain people from your will. It’s also important to think about your health-care proxy, and consider who would be in charge of making major medical decisions for you in case of your incapication— you wouldn’t want your ex-spouse to be in charge of your life, would you?

If you need to redraft, or don’t have an estate plan at all, get in contact with our office by filling out the form below!
