What happens if a person wishes to leave nothing to one of their heirs, e.g., one of their three sons? Many states' laws assume, in the absence of naming the son in the will, that the son was forgotten.
There are very strict requirements on creating wills in most states. As you might expect, there are also very strict rules governing changes made to wills. It is important to understand that if you make a change of any kind to a will, even one tiny pen mark, you must comply with the requirements of your state's laws.
