Re: disinheritance of child
Mother can, without question, draft a will that disinherits her children. With this simple approach, the one child that inherits would, however, be under no obligation whatsoever to use any of the inheritance for the other two. Mother may consider the use of a special needs trust for the two disabled children. this type of trust is designed to prevent the loss of benefits that may result from the inheritance.
