Re: will

First of all, you do not appoint yourself to be administrator of a will, you petition the court to appoint you.

Next, the will must be lodged (filed) with the Superior Court in which the person resided at the time of death.

Finally, yes, someone can disinherit some of his or her children and leave everything to one, or none, of their children.
