Best Answer

The rules are different in different jurisdictions. You should have your will drafted by an attorney who specializes in probate to make certain it effectively disinherits any children you wish to leave out. Generally, a will contest cannot prevail if the will is properly drafted for a legally competent testator. You may need to name all the children in the will, but you do not have to leave them anything.
