There are laws that govern estates and Wills. You cannot disinherit a minor child in most jurisdictions in the United States. You can disinherit an adult child but there are specific steps that must be taken in some jurisdictions. In some cases, the testator must state clearly in the Will that they are intentionally omitting a child or children (and name them) or the court will assume that child was simply forgotten and grant her a share of the estate. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law who can review your needs, explain your options and draft a proper Will for your jurisdiction.

A parent has that ability. There has to be clear evidence that is what they intended to do. If they other children were born after the will was made, the court is likely to add them to the will.
