Estate of Fernstrom

In Estate of Fernstrom (1958) 157 Cal.App.2d 380, the decedent declared he had no children although he had a daughter. The court stated that a general disinheritance clause is enough to prevent pretermission: "The courts of California have held repeatedly and consistently that a testator's declaration in his will that he has intentionally omitted to provide for his heirs is a sufficient expression of his intentional omission of provision for children." (P. 383.)
