Short answer: not because of silence or conflict.
French law is extremely protective of children’s inheritance rights. A child can only be excluded in exceptionally serious circumstances, such as:
- attempted murder or violence against the parent
- physical or psychological abuse
- malicious false accusations in court
- serious crimes committed against the parent
Even then, disinheritance is never automatic.
It must be:
- explicitly written in a valid will
- backed with evidence
- and often confirmed through legal proceedings
It is a demanding process, because the law considers the parent–child bond foundational, even when strained.
