The answer depends on your jurisdiction. You cannot disinherit your spouse in almost every state in the United States except Louisiana. In the other states a spouse can claim a share of the state through a simple process under the doctrine of election. You need to consult with an attorney in your particular jurisdiction.
Generally, any property held as joint tenants with the right of survivorship passes automatically to the surviving joint tenant. That type of joint property cannot be devised by will.
