[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
Sorry your confused, Walter

Disinherit is a transitive verb meaning [i]to prevent deliberately from inheriting something (as by making a will)[/i]

Forced heirship isn’t “how I put it,” it’s the appropriate language for discussing forced heirs (how they’re referred to in the literal statute) in Louisiana as well as the way Americans speaking English discuss the much stricter and nearly ubiquitous inheritance rules in Europe.

I left you some sources to help you understand. Catch you on the flip side!

FFS, OP did not mention living in Europe, nor did they mention living in Louisiana.  And I actually went to law school in Louisiana, so I didn't need your sad Googling.

OP, if you are in Louisiana, get a trusts and estates lawyer, whether your interest is in disinheriting the grandchild or preventing such disinheritance. Actually, if you are anywhere and this concerned about this, just see a lawyer. [/quote]
I asked OP because it’s relevant. DCUM has posters all over the world. Wild how triggered you are by simple facts. Maybe you need more Aricept.

Still just a terribly sad situation wanting to exclude an adopted grandchild.[/quote]
