Re: Siblings and Wills
He can leave nothing for a child if he should choose to set forth such a provision in his last will and testament. This is not the same for a spouse. If he dies without a last will and testament and has not made arrangements for payment of the account on the event of his death then each of the five children will have an interest in the bank account. Contact an attorney should you need assistance with a legal matter.
