Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Re: Can a Father refuse to leave money to a child ?

Adult children can usually be disinherited absent a contract to the contrary. Doing so can create difficulties that can be minimized. See an attorney to do it properly.

Re: Can a Father refuse to leave money to a child ?

Yes.

You can disinherit a child in your will. If the child is of the age of majority there is no statutory provision for any minimum amount allocated to the child left out of a will. As you might expect - the concept of "will", the desires and intentions of the person making the property distribution plan intended to operate at their death - suggests that any desires of the testator (the will writer) should be honored, absent illegality, impossibility or some contrary public policy (e.g., minor children should not be left destitute, etc.)
