Yes it's legal. The only way it could be contested, is if the beneficiaries (children) are left to a certain percentage of proceeds from an estate...then, because the will has not been updated, more than likely, the children left off the will, would still receive their fair share. However, keep in mind, the will must be contested in order for that to happen. In situations like this, it's rare. More often the brothers and sisters listed will make sure the children not added to the will get what they are entitled to.

I am assuming you are talking about a last will and testament. The laws vary by state about disinheriting a child. My suggestion is to seek advice from someone with the knowledge of your state laws on this.
