This would generally be the type of thing that would be done through estate planning documents, such as a will, or in a trust. In Arizona, as in most states, you must specifically identify a child you wish to disinherit, it must be in writing, and signed by you. There is no requirement, again in Arizona, that you state any reason why you are disinheriting the daughter, just the name, (I would include the date of birth) and the fact that you specifically intend to not leave her any property of money when you pass.
