In New Jersey can a child be disinherited?

Yes, in New Jersey, a child can be disinherited, meaning they can be excluded from receiving any part of an estate. However, if a parent wishes to disinherit a child, it is essential to clearly express this intention in their will or estate plan to avoid potential legal challenges. New Jersey law does not require a parent to leave anything to their children unless there are specific circumstances, such as a dependent child who may have a claim for support. Consulting with an estate attorney can help ensure that the disinheritance is properly documented.
