Can I exclude someone from my estate?

Under California law you can exclude whomever you want from your estate plan. In some states, a surviving spouse has a statutory right to an interest in a deceased married person's estate. This is not the case in California. A married person is entitled to dispose of his or her entire separate property estate, and his or her one half community interest in the estate. Children have no statutory rights, and brothers and sisters have no statutory rights. Excluding anyone you wish is part of the estate planning process.
