If you are absolutely sure you do not want your son to receive all or certain parts of your estate, you should consult a lawyer and draw up a new will. Depending on which assets you no longer want to give to your son, you may want to note in your Will that you are purposely excluding him from receiving one or more specific pieces of your property. Otherwise, he might try to challenge the Will in court based on the provisions of your earlier Will. Ask your attorney for his or her advice about this aspect of drawing up your next Will.
Keep in mind your own best interests in case this son is your only possible future caregiver.
