Can the father not leave anything to the last daughter?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
A person can leave their estate to whomever they want. If he doesn't want to leave anything to her, he can do a will leaving her out. He should however state very clearly in the will why he is leaving her out so she has a harder time contesting it. It is also sometimes advisable to leave her something so it discourages her to contest it. Your father needs to see an attorney to make sure it is all done right.

Who will inherit the deceased siblings portion from a mother's will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
The language in the will determines who inherits in place of your late sister. If the will doesn't clarify this with language like "per stirpes" or "by representation", state law will determine who inherits.
