Statutes often provide rights to blood descendents who are not mentioned (pretermitted) in the will, but it is certainly possible to specifically exclude them by making sure the entire estate is distributed to others, often including a clause or two that makes it impossible to challenge (e.g., "to my selfish putz of a son, Aaron, I leave one broken shoelace as a token of my frustration and as a symbol to try to pull himself together.")

∙ 13y agoIn most jurisdictions an adult child can be disinherited by will. In certain jurisdictions the testator must mention that child specifically in the will and state they have left that child nothing. Otherwise the court may rule the child was inadvertently forgotten and that child may be entitled to an intestate share of the estate. You need to consult with an attorney who can review the will and explain the disinherited child's rights and options in your particular jurisdictions.
