Can I omit child on drugs from my will? Can I stipulate in will he must be off drugs and complete rehab before getting benefits?

Yes,you can do that in your will. It is your option/ But how many other are involved your will?

ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

Some areas do not permit the complete disinheriting of a child. So you might have to leave him a token amount or specify that he has to complete a rehab program. I would consult with a local estate planner.

I won't disinherit; just don't want him to get the bulk. Thanks & I will consult.

And you would be wrong. Wills have been frequently been overturned for any variety of reasons.

You are new here so you may not be aware that we require a higher standard in the law forums. Answers here need to conform to statutory law. If you don't know the law please refrain from giving inaccurate advice.

PLEASE don't answer questions in the legal forum when you very obviously don't know the law.

Your "serious doubts" are wrong.

You have obviously never been part of an estate dispute. You cannot simply disinherit and you can no longer say you need nothing to X for reasons he/she understands. That's been overturned left and right.

You mention the child and leave a nominal amount AND add language that any person who protests the Will gets nothing.

A Will cannot dictate behavior (or anything else) from beyond the grave. For example, I couldn't leave a bequest to my son, Frank, if he marries (or doesn't marry) Mary. He either inherits or doesn't - behavior now or in the future cannot be controlled.
