I do remember my brother updating his will, and on the advice of his attorney, the child was mentioned in the will that his inheritance was the gifts and money they had they had given him earlier in his life. I guess by not mentioning the child in the will, maybe it was a legality that could be contested. But my saying that his inheritance was already given, it would be harder to contest it. I don't know if it necessary,mouth thought that was an interesting way to handle the situation. Ksm
