with an adjustment factor for a spouse, a person has a right to leave his property to whomever he wishes. If there *weren't* a will all children would stand on the same footing, but his will can do anything.

Yes. Children can always be disinherited. In fact any one can be disinherited EXCEPT a spouse.
