Disinheritance is the withdrawal of the compulsory portion by testamentary disposition, in the presence of a ground for disinheritance.
Examples of such reasons include:
- certain judicially punishable acts against the decedent
- gross neglect of family law obligations towards the decedent
- sentencing to life imprisonment or 20 years imprisonment for one or more criminal acts committed with intent
- infliction of severe emotional distress on the decedent
