Omitted Child Clause
(FL)

Summary

This template is an omitted child clause for use in a Florida will. This template contains practical guidance, drafting notes, and optional clauses. Use this template for any of the following purposes: 1) excluding a child entirely from the will, 2) providing a smaller inheritance to one child than to others, 3) limiting an inheritance to assets passing under a separate trust, and 4) limiting an inheritance to lifetime gifts already received. The template also addresses how to prevent a disinherited child from being nominated to a fiduciary role by operation of law.
