    It may depend on the country. In Ireland, no, he had to divide assets fairly between his children or his children's children.

    This is a legal question and has been moved to the correct forum. Whether a child is disabled or not has NO bearing on inheritance laws. Such laws vary by location, so without knowing, at least, what state you are in, there is no way to completely answer you.

    Some states allow disowning, others don't.
