Trust & Estate Quick Tip #16 – Should I leave $1 in my will or trust to disinherit an heir?
www.estateandprobatelawyer.com / 954-580-3690
The truth is that leaving your heir $1 in your will to disinherit them is not necessary. For the heir to formally receive his or her dollar, they will need to be notified and a check will need to be drawn up and sent to that person by your Executor or your Trustee. By simply leaving $1 to that person, it could open the door to questions such as the potential of a drafting error, or questions or incapacity or undue influence when the Will was created.
To disinherit someone, you need to have it in writing, and you should acknowledge that person specifically and say that you are intentionally not leaving them anything in the distribution of the will or trust. The act of acknowledging that person makes your intent clear that you were intending for that person to not receive anything. Again, you do not have to leave them a single dollar.
