What is the name of your state? I live in Texas.
I need to know Texas law and the legal wording to disinherit a child. My ex husband died in Feb., we had one daughter and he had no other children. He stated in his will that he had no children. He left his estate to a friend. His estate is about $160,000. I did retain an attorney, and we did stop probate, but now my attorney says all we can do is prove forgery, incompatance, or undue influence. I can not prove any of those, the will was signed Nov. 2000. Is there any way that the wording I have no children can be used to invalidate the will as we have proof that she is his only child and relative. The fact that he state I have no children is an untruth, and he left everything to the executrix. It looks like we will not win at this point, should we lose, can my daughter sue the estate for back child support even though she is now 39? He did not pay for 10 years, as I could not locate him.
