** Evetta (the Doll) herself also counts. At the end of his existence, Gehrman clearly did not see her as a sentient being, so he left his worldly possessions to Cyril, who desperately tried to give them back to her, since he, as a Noble Scion, had no real need for any of it. She, however, kept rebuffing him, but the conversations they had on the topic were the start of their courtship and eventual marriage.

* Creator/BenjaminFranklin disinherited his son William, who had sided with the British during UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution. After the war, they saw each other one last time to settle some financial and legal matters. In his will, Benjamin left William almost nothing except some near-worthless land in Canada, justifying his stance by claiming if England had won the war, he would've been left with nothing anyway.

It doesn't seem to have been formalized though, as he's the SoleSurvivor of a RulingFamilyMassacre and subsequently finds himself inheriting everything.

And even more so on the reaction of the cat when it realises it's all that stands between the heirs and the money. He's not a nice man.
