<p class="MsoNormal">If the Will excludes the child, that’s it; the child receives nothing and the State/Guardian has no means to get inheritance money from the estate. There is no right to inherit that could thwart the intent of the testator.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only alternative scenario I could imagine is where the State/Guardian has some kind of creditor claim against the parent, perhaps because the parent was obligated for something during life relating to the disabled children, and didn’t
pay? I don’t think DSHS reimbursement applies in this scenario because that’s for services rendered to the
<i>decedent</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>
