[WSBARP] Naming children in a will

[Douglas W. Scott]

Elderly client with 7 living and one deceased child has assets in Washington and Europe.  I told him he must name all of his children in his will otherwise, if not named, they will take their 1/7th share.  He is adamant that he only wants to name one of his children in his will, the one who gets all the assets.  Would it be acceptable for him to simply mention that he has 7 living children and not name each them?
