A quick definition of disinherit:

Disinherit: When someone decides not to leave their property or money to someone who would normally inherit it, like a child or family member, it is called disinheritance. This means that the person intentionally leaves them out of their will or estate plan, and they will not receive any inheritance.

A more thorough explanation:

Disinherit

To disinherit means to intentionally prevent someone from receiving an inheritance. This can happen when someone is excluded from a will or trust.

1. John's father wrote a will that excluded him from inheriting any of his assets. This means that John was disinherited.

2. Mary's grandfather promised to leave her his house, but then changed his will to give it to someone else. Mary was disinherited from receiving the house.

These examples illustrate how someone can be intentionally excluded from receiving an inheritance. Disinheritance can happen for many reasons, such as family disputes or disagreements over how assets should be distributed. It is important to have a clear and updated will or trust to avoid confusion and potential legal battles.
