1 Answer from Attorneys
If Elijah is under 23 years of age, he cannot be disinherited from his father's succession. However, he only has a right to whatever property his dad owned or left in his possession at his death. Life insurance is usually left to a named beneficiary. That belongs to that beneficiary.
