I hate my brother and sister and their children. How can I make sure they never inherit anything?
June 1st, 2008
My will leaves everything to my own family but what if my wife and kids were killed in an auto crash at the same time as me? Can I put something in my will to say under no ciurcumstances can my brother and sister and their lousy kids get a single cent?

Yes. Ask your lawyer to redo your will to specify this.
June 4th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Is that how you want your brother and sister to remember you once you die? That you did your best to NOT give them money????
June 7th, 2008 at 12:51 am
Yeah, leave your money to me.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:50 am
yes you can say just that “under no ciurcumstances can my brother and sister and their lousy kids get a single cent”
June 10th, 2008 at 6:16 am
Change your will.
June 12th, 2008 at 2:50 am
you can. you can leave it to who or where ever you want. but sheesh. whats with the hate?
June 14th, 2008 at 7:59 am
Just make sure your lawyer knows exactly what you want.
June 15th, 2008 at 5:38 am
Yes you can say in your will who you want to get everything or can even break it up and give to several.
June 15th, 2008 at 6:05 am
Put a condition in there as to where the money should go if your immediate family is not there to collect it. Make sure you go through a lawyer, and that it is properly filed. That’s about all you can do, and if done properly, it will be iron clad.

Insert a clause that gives your family one dollar each, and leave the reminder of your estate to who ever you want
June 19th, 2008 at 6:57 am
Yes , yes you may. Life is real short brother , I don’t think you really want it to end on a “hate” note now do you….
June 19th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
will your change…or change your will
June 21st, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Yes you can, but you’ld be better off getting a trust set up..
that way your estate would benefit your children much better than a will.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:23 am
just kill the @$$holes man
June 24th, 2008 at 1:25 am
Absolutely! Talk to your attorney about making changes.
June 27th, 2008 at 1:21 am
Yes, you can stipulate that if those whom you entrusted your wealth to cannot receive it, then it goes to the state, or some charity, or whatever else you desire.
June 29th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Yep, just leave it to your cousins or wifes family or a charity as a last resort. Just ask your lawyer.
June 30th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Yes of course you can get a lawyer to write your will out specifying this
July 1st, 2008 at 8:32 am
if all that happens,i hope it does not, you can change your will to leave it to charity or someone else you think deserves it, but atleast you can take your hate with you.
July 3rd, 2008 at 2:24 am
you can, talk to you solicitor and then specify exactly who else you want it to go to (a charity?)
July 5th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Hate is such a strong word. I hope you truly mean this or you could feel really guilty if something should ever happen to one of them. But say something happens to your family… all you have to do is put it in your will to have your estate be donated to a charity. A lot of people do this. Wills can always be changed, so maybe one day you can get rid of the hatred you have for your family and leave them something small.
July 8th, 2008 at 7:56 am
Yes, don’t listen to anyone on here trying to tell you that it’s wrong not to leave anything for your family, I know I won’t either. Talk to your lawyer about it, he or she can adjust your will so there’s NO WAY they can get a cent or ounce of property. Peace.
July 11th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Sure, you sound like a sweet guy, talk to a lawyer.
There isn’t any problem in cutting out your brothers, sister and their lousy kids. All it takes is one sentence.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:11 am
You can be very specific. You can actually have a clause that talks about what would happen if you were involved in an auto accident at the same time as the rest of your family (those you are leaving everything to), but you can certainly put in: “To my brother ________, my sister ________, and their heirs per stirpes, I wish for them to have nothing from my estate” or something to that effect.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
WOW! That’s a lot of hatred!!! (Depending upon how many children they have between them!)
Yes, you should be able to alter your Will so that someone or something other than your siblings and their offspring will inherit any money and/or assets that you leave behind. See an attorney or a lawyer.
July 20th, 2008 at 2:04 am
Put in a clause that donates your entire estate to a charity if your immediate family is unable to collect after your death.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Actually, it all depends on the state you live in, and the next of kin laws there.
When no one in your family is left other than your brother, he could be considered your next of kin, and CAN contest your will. However, just give everything to those who you love, wife kids whoever, and then stipulate that if they are not alive to give everything to a charity.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:59 am
Ask a lawyer to exempt (by specific name and kin relationship) each person that you do not want to inherit any part of your estate. Since you will be exempting some of them, you understand that the full estate will then go to those named. Also make provision for where you would like any part of your estate to end up.
July 23rd, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Shouldnt be hard…there are wills… but failing that…
I suggest you never sleep…or else keep one eye open and make sure you never pass away..bobby trap all your stuff in case you do pass away….that way you don’t need to worry about any belongings going nowhere.
Glad your not in my family….
July 26th, 2008 at 2:55 am
The best you can do is to specify your heirs and subsequent heirs in the unlikely event that you and your entire family are killed together. Thruthfully, onve you have died, it will not concern you all that much.
July 26th, 2008 at 4:34 am
If you,your wife and kids get killed at the same time (which is highly unlikely),then obviously,the right to your property goes to your siblings and their kids.
However,supposing this is not your ancestral property and tht you have earned each cent with your own might,you can freely state in your will as to who stands to gain complete rights to your property after your wife and kids.e.g. a friend,some other relative etc.
If you do this,then chances are minimal tht your siblings would inherit your property.
July 29th, 2008 at 2:04 am
you can say:
I intentionally make no provision in this, my Last Will and Testament, for my siblings, john doe & jane doe or their children.
July 29th, 2008 at 2:05 am
Try one of those will thingys.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:21 am
The best I can say is put it in your will just how you want it. It’s as simple as that.
July 30th, 2008 at 4:35 am
Indicate in the will that incase that your instituted or copmulsory heir will be incapacitated to inherit your estate, they will be by substituted by any other person you choose… provided that all the formalities required by law should be satisfied to the fullest so that it will never be denied probate… that will avoid you dying intestate…. ^^
