[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is grandparent in the US? Only Louisiana has limited forced heirship. So if in any other state he can disinherit the adopted grandchild without any restriction. Sounds like an awful choice but there you go.[/quote]

"Disinherit"?

With no forced heirship, as you put it, there is no need to 'disinherit." To disinherit you initiate a legal proceeding to subvert forced heirship. This is the US in 2024. People aren't disinheriting grandchildren, adopted or not. You just don't give them anything in the will or trust. [/quote]

That’s not true for people with large estates.  Why would they not give their grandchildren anything?  A generation skipping trust would have large amounts of cash put into separate trusts for grandchildren for estate tax purposes.  Some will give the money to the grandchild outright, some will have it in trust for the child’s lifetime.

For a basic Will usually the money is left to his child but if his child predeceases him that share would go to his child’s issue.

I wrote this really clumsily but it’s not really that simple for everyone. [/quote]
