To disinherit; to exclude someone from an inheritance or deprive them of their expected inheritance.
From Latin exheredare (ex- 'out' + heres 'heir'), formed like 'disinherit.' An archaic legal term that was common in medieval and Renaissance legal documents.
The Romans developed exheredatio as a formal legal process—a parent had to explicitly exheredate a child for them to lose their inheritance, making it one of the harshest punishments available!
