Looking for a word that means: he who disinherits

Or he who robbed the birthright of another.

"Disinheriter"?

Is that a word? Can you think of anything less awkward?

Hi

The spelling would be disinheritor - and that sounds OK to me

Another word is pretender - especially if it refers to someone who takes up a position of authority - such as a king - instead of the rightful inheritor
