Yeah you can but is it fair? Do you hate the girls that much?

Yes, you can designate anyone as your beneficiary, since you are no longer legally married. I would recommend that you consult with an attorney in your state and see about a Living Will. Also, all of you beneficiary designation forms should be current and up to date. And it is your money, do not listen to these nuts on here about being selfish with your son. If he is what is important to you, forget other people!!!

You can only leave it to one child, BUT, the others will have a rite to contest it. If you leave everything to only one of them, they all are your children, they all have a rite to contest it & at least w/no doubt get something out of it. Had a conversation just today about the same exact thing. One son was left everything, the other nothing. The one w/nothing contested it & ended up w/his "fair share" of the will after all. The suit? Discrimination!!!

You've GOT to be kidding me!!!
You were in the military for 29 years as an engineer and you don't KNOW that you can leave all your worldly possessions to anybody you want to, be they relative or NOT?

you can leave everything to him, but realize that this may make things very difficult for him after you are gone. his sisters will likely take their frustration out on him. they will be angry and jealous. he will take the brunt of their nastiness. if he is close to them, he may feel guilty and feel pressured to split the money with them anyway.
if you are considering this, perhaps you should discuss this with him in advance to see how he feels about it. i have had this happen in a family. one child was given all of the land and money when their brother died. the recipient felt obligated to split the land and money equally with her 5 sisters to keep the peace.
rather than using your will as a chance to make a statement and give your daughters a slap in the face from the grave, consider resolving these issues with them in advance. let them know how you feel and don't put your son in an awkward position.

you can do whatever you want. if that is what you want to hurt your daughters in death and they have hurt you in life by all means do what you want. i am not sure why you would want to leave only child everything when you have three. why not leave the girls $100.00 at least they cant say he left everything to the son. GodBless.

I dont know what your daughter's did to deserve you to be so un-caring and un-loving towards them , but maybe keep in mind if they were taken by their mother she probably used them as emotional pawns in her game of garbage , so anything they may have said or done to you was out of her brain washing them.
Why dont you be the adult and show them you did love them and knew their mother was a manipulative , lying cow they'll know then all she said wasnt true about you.
I couldnt imagine any dad not wanting to love his daughter's.

It's your will. You can mete out the monies how you wish. There is no rule that you have to leave something for everyone. Look at Leona Helmsley. She skipped her whole family and left it to the dog.

Yes when you put in the will that is how it is like it or not.
As for your daughters that will just totally f*#k them up that you didn't care enough to leave them anything, but it's up to you. So the answer is yes.

Your will is completely up to you. I am not going to lecture about "fairness" like some of the other people. If you want all of your belongings and money to go to your son list him as the only beneficiary.
