By giving $1 it is a way to show that the person writing the will new the child existed and only wanted him or her to have $1 and no further part of the estate.  I many cases that child has already been given their share in order for them to set up house keeping but sometimes it is because of family discord.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Julia Coldren-Walker</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 6/27/2010 7:19:06 P.M.
