Does North Carolina law require a parent of a deceased child to bequeath the child's children a portion of my estate I have one living child to leave my estate to?

No. You have the right to dispose of your property as you wish by your last Will and Testament . If there are heirs you wish to exclude you should state that intention clearly in your will by declaring that it is your intention to make no provisions for the children of your deceased son and then name them.If you die without a Will the state will distribute your estate for you. The share of any child who predeceased you will pass to their children. You should seek the advice of a probate attorney.

Can you bequeath fortune to someone?

Only if it's your fortune. You can leave a will specifying how your estate should be divided. Depending on where you live, there may be some restrictions.... for example, you may not be able to exclude a spouse or child from your will, or you may have to explicitly do so (in some places, if someone who has a "natural right" to a share in your estate... such as a spouse or child... isn't mentioned at all, the state probate court will assume it's an oversight and grant them a share in the estate anyway).
