Can you disinherit your spouse?
In most cases, disinheriting a spouse isn’t simple. Many places in the US and Canada protect spouses from being completely disinherited. In some places, you have to submit a memorandum of reasons for disinheriting the spouse. These protections are called statutory rights.
For instance, if someone tries to leave all their assets to a charity, their spouse can still claim a legal share in the estate in the US and Canada.
