I assume you are the heir you are referring to? Generally, a spouse can never be disinherited from a will but a child can be. If the will left everything to the spouse and the children are left out, they can challenge the will itself but cannot object to being disinherited since that is the choice of the testator. If you have questions about the will, contact a local attorney who works in Probate. Don't waste any time. www.NolanElderLaw.com
