A disinherited child is a child whose parents disinherited them. Such a drastic action might be taken only for grave reasons: for example, the son was estranged from his parents or might dissipate the estate his parents have worked for. In other cases, it might be more petty reasons such as homosexuality or marrying the "wrong" spouse (read: the spouse was disliked by the parents). More can be found here. Such a disposition might cause strife in the family, especially if other siblings are present and able to inherit. Unlike Passed-Over Inheritance, the disinherited party is an heir whose parent makes it clear they're cut out of the inheritance (thus "disinherited") in immediate response to an unfortunate situation. Passed-Over Inheritance describes someone who thought they were entitled to an inheritance, but it turns out during a will reading that they were excluded. May be done to an Inadequate Inheritor or The Unfavorite. Compare I Have No Son!. Contrast Rejecting the Inheritance and Disowned Parent, when it's the parent who gets cut off. |

In The Black Sheep Dog Series, this is subverted — while Sirius and the rest of the world believed that his father Orion disinherited him the moment he ran away, it turns out that he's still legally the heir. | |

In Kevin & Kell, after Kell's father dies, she learns that her father arranged to have Kell cut out of the will unless she divorces her rabbit husband Kevin. Since Kell's greedy and not-too-bright younger brother Ralph is selling his heirlooms, Kevin moonlights as a mall Santa to raise enough money to buy them back, resulting in his father-in-law posthumously accepting him and apologizing to Kell. | |

Dark Souls: Gwyn, the god of sunlight and Top God, had a nasty habit of doing this. He Un-Personed his first son and most likely heir for siding with the dragons in the Great Offscreen War; Gwyndolin was raised as a female for showing affinity to the moon and is effectively absent from Anor Londo's imagery; Gwynevere left Anor Londo when things started going downhill; and he turned his youngest daughter, Filianore, into a Barrier Maiden for the Ringed City to contain the Pygmies. | |

In Harry Potter fanfic The Peace Not Promised, Eileen Prince has been disowned from the wealthy and powerful Prince family for marrying a muggle, but this leaves the aging patriarch with no heirs at all, and Eileen is ultimately miserable with her choice, as Tobias is alcoholic and abusive. Her son Severus is able to make a deal with his grandfather, to have her reinstated in exchange for having nothing more to do with muggles, and she accepts. However, since Severus himself is unwilling to give up the muggle-born witch he loves, he is unable to accept a similar offer, and his mother has to reluctantly disinherit and cut ties with him in turn. | |

Thy Good Neighbor: Deconstructed with Brandon Stark. After he conducts himself shamefully during a duel with the Hunter, his father is pressured to disinherit him. Despite very much not wanting to do so, he ultimately declares that in six years, his son will "willingly" remove himself from the line of succession, taking some money and loyal men as he sets out to find his own fortune. | |

In Final Fantasy XVI, this is the protagonist Clive's backstory. Despite being the Rosarian royal family's eldest son, he was ousted from succession due to his failure to manifest as the Dominant of Phoenix and his younger brother Joshua was made the heir. Unusually, nobody really holds this against him, and he still manages to earn considerable respect as a soldier. At the same time, Clive's shy younger brother idolizes him while viewing himself as The Wrongful Heir to the Throne. Not that any of it ends up mattering much, since an invasion from a neighboring country leaves Joshua dead and Clive sold into slavery by his own mother. | |

DuckTales (2017): Played for Laughs: During board game night, Scrooge in full Serious Business mode threatens to cut out his nephew Donald from his Will if they lose. Donald's only reaction is mild surprise that he was even in the will to begin with. Word of God has stated that despite numerous references to Scrooge's will (mostly from Louie, his grand-nephew who is obsessed with Scrooge's fortune with the understanding that it will be his one day), the truth is that Scrooge doesn't have a will since he is convinced that he will live forever. |

Ivanhoe by Walter Scott has been disinherited by his Saxon father, Cedric of Rotherwood, because Ivanhoe allied with Norman King Richard to fight in the Crusades. Cedric would even deny Ivanhoe suitor status to his ward, Rowena; Cedric aims to wed Rowena to Athelstane to bolster the Saxon nobility. Upon returning to England incognito, Ivanhoe enters a combat tournament with "Desdichado" (unfortunate, wretched) printed on his shield. | |

A major plot point in Knives Out: Harlan Thrombey planned to disinherit all of his children and grandchildren after having a Heel Realization later in life and realizing that his enabling treatment of them had turned them all into spoiled, dysfunctional brats. He intended to instead give everything he had to his nurse/best friend Marta, but his grandson Ransom got wind of this and decided to secure the inheritance for himself by murdering Harlan and framing Marta for his death so she would be disqualified. | |

Zigzagged with both Lainie and Amanda in Daughter for Dessert. After Lainie fell in with a cult, her father only let her access her money if she could prove that she would only spend it on herself. Then, she died in poverty after having the protagonist use her treatment money as startup capital. Amanda is then unaware of her mother's family’s wealth until Cecilia shows up and promises her access to her mother’s inheritance, but only if she were to forsake her father. Amanda first gives an unequivocal refusal, but Cecilia almost manages to convince her to reverse her decision before her father forces the truth. | |

Tashir Remoerdis in the middle of the Last Herald-Mage Trilogy is disowned during a dinner on suspicion of being the product of Brother–Sister Incest (as he resembles his mother's side of the family and was born eight months after the wedding).

In Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane, the cornerstone of the prosecution in Case 4 is that William Frega disinherited his daughter Beatrice on the night of his murder, giving her a motive. The youngest daughter, Miriam, testifies that the disinheritance happened 5 years ago, which if true would remove the motive. William made the decision after speaking with Beatrice on the night of the murder. Beatrice killed him before he could update his will. | |

Chick Tracts: In "Payback," Kelly tricks the old man she's nursing into signing his estate to her and cutting his children out of the will, before letting him die to get everything he has. When Kelly converts to Christianity as she's dying, she makes amends by including his children in the will. In "The Slugger" and "The Superstar," the pro athlete cuts his entire family(including any children he may have had) out of the will in favor of the gardener who converted him to Christianity, simply because he believes the man in question is the only one who will use his money wisely. |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Miklan, the eldest son of House Gautier and Sylvain's older brother, is disinherited because he didn't inherit a Crest. This means that he cannot wield his family's weapon, the Lance of Ruin, without turning into a mindless monster, and since House Gautier relies on the strength of their Relic to keep the people of the Sreng region at bay, they insist that their heirs possess Crests. It's unclear whether Miklan's parents were aware that he tried to kill Sylvain on multiple occasions. More broadly, such disinheritance or demotion to lesser inheritance is common amongst Fodlan's nobility with King Lambert inheriting the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus over his older brother Rufus, as Lambert inherited the Crest of Blaiddyd while Rufus was born without a Crest, and so Rufus received the lesser inheritance of the Grand Duchy of Itha. Similarly, Hilda is in line for certain inheritances in the House of Goneril over her older brother, Holst, as she bears the Crest of Goneril and Holst does not, though the specifics are less clear than other cases. Generally, children or even nieces and nephews with Crests are favored over those without for inheritance. |

The Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers episode "Pound of the Baskervilles" has elder brother Howard Bask residing in the manor house, while the younger brother Roger lives in a servants' shanty. At the time, their father was believed to have died intestate, which would normally apportion equal shares of the Bask estate. Howard, however, levers his elder brother status and bullish girth to accord himself the lion's share. When the Rescue Rangers discover the hidden will, it specifies that Roger should be the sole inheritor, leaving nothing to the oafish, pompous Howard. | |
