[WSBAPT] How to provide for Testator's child support obligation

[Sara D. Longley]

Listmates,

 

How would you draft a will provision for a testator who does not want to
leave any bequest for his minor child by a prior partner, but who has a
court-ordered child support obligation to that child until he/she reaches
age 18?

 

Of course the will identifies the child by name and states that the
testator's intent is to make no gift to the child.  Should I also include a
conditional provision for payment of any legal obligation existing upon
Testator's death?  Or just leave it up to the child's parent/DSHS to claim
against the estate?  Or something in between?

 

Thanks in advance,

Sara
