While disinheriting hasn't come up a great deal in the anime and manga and other bit of Japanese media I've dealt with, it has come up on occasion, and as I recall each time the person who was disinherited was effectively dead, as far as their family was concerned. There was no contact, no assistance, in several cases their name was not even allowed to be mentioned. If they were raped and murdered on the road, the family would not know or care.
