The Inheritance Rights of Children

[Music] Hi this Keith Davidson from Albertson and Davidson in this video I'm talking about the inheritance rights of children you may find this surprising but in California children do not have an automatic right to inherit their parents assets and a lot of people are in fact surprised to hear that they'll call up our office saying that I've got a problem for some reason a bad actor came in and changed the will or the trust and somebody else is getting the assets and not the children now we might be able to challenge that trust or will if something was done improperly such as a time when your parent lacked capacity or was subject to undue influence but if your parent whereas of sound mind and they were doing what they wanted they do have the right to completely disinherit you as a child in fact a parent can disinherit all of the children if they choose to do so that's assuming that the children are adult the parent does not have a right to get away from paying child support for any Maya minor children but when it comes to adult children any child can be disinherited by a parent there is not an automatic right to inherit assets in California Albertson and Davidson is here to help you fight for your inheritance check out al devlog com for our complete library of helpful legal videos and articles from your favorite California trusts and we'll litigation law firm Albertson and Davidson LLP.
