Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

I urge you to see an attorney about this. Especially if you are trying to disinherit your children, you should hire an attorney who can explain how best to get the results you are seeking. If you amend a will without following the correct rules, you may make the entire will invalid in which case the children will surely get at least part of the inheritance.

I concur with the answer and suggestion. It is not the form but the language that accomplishes this. You provide no information as the reason for the disinheritance, who will receive the estate and the relationship of this person to the Will maker, as well as why this is being done. Answers to these questions and properly covered in the Will may avoid litigation later. This is a reply to an Internet question and the response is not intended to be legal advice or as creating an attorney-client relationship.
