Short answer
A testator may leave property to one child, but other children, parents and a spouse may retain compulsory-share rights. Omitting someone from the will does not automatically remove those rights.
Practical example
A will names only one of two children. Calculating the other child’s rights first requires their potential statutory share and the other eligible people.
What to do
List all first-ranking heirs and distinguish personal and joint property before making the will. Compare the intended outcome with compulsory-share rules.
Points to consider
Loss of the compulsory share requires special grounds; ordinary family disagreement should not be treated as sufficient.
