Yes. The owner of the item may leave a will where the "item" is bequeathed. However, if the item is a large financial or property/business then other parties may take exception to this and challenge the will. It is always appropriate to seek out a legal professional to ensure the the wishes of the deceased are legally sound and binding

United States:

The answer is yes with certain limitations depending on the laws in any particular state. In many jurisdictions a person cannot disinherit their legal spouse. Therefore, if the man has remarried his current spouse may be entitled to a statutory share of his estate regardless of the Will. Also, minor children are entitled to share in a parent's estate. If you want to leave your estate to your former spouse you should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate and estate planning in your area.
