	I have ancestors that allegedly did that but don't know if it was contested or how to find what actually happened.

If you want to leave everything to charity and have children then I would expect them to contest it. so I would suppose you have to state reasons why you have left them out.

	Is it possible to do this and does anyone know of anyone that succeeded in doing it with no one contesting it?
