Can I leave only one grand child money?

[Anonymous]

I have 2 sons and each son has 2 kids. One grandson has mild autism. He graduated high school, got a job which he quit amd will be starting an apprenticeship.

Should I split my sizeable will 1/3 to each son and 1/3 to this grandson?

Sure. It's your money, you can do whatever you want with it. And it's no one else's business.

You can do whatever you want with your money but why would you leave the other grandkids out in light of a sizeable estate? Why create unnecessary animosity in the family?

I could but it still will be more that I leave to the one grandson. Or do you think I should leave equal amounts?

It’s your money, but this is the kind of thing that tears families apart. I’ve seen it happen several times in my own extended family. I’d split it equally.

I would put into a trust for his benefit.

If your estate is sizable, I would pay for college for the others.

Why would you leave the other grandkids out of your will? How unfair. Why this favoritism?

This. There are special needs trusts. Be clear with your wishes now and in your will. I actually don’t think estates must always be equal when not everyone’s needs are equal. This is a great example of why.

This grandson will need the money. The others can get the money from their parents when they die.

When they die .. what if their parents spend it all on themselves?

Fair doesn’t mean equal. It’s always shocking this has to be said.

This.

And if you do leave him more, leave it in a trust and have someone else be the trustee

And what makes you think the other grandkids DON'T need the money?

I would hate to be the left out grandkid.

My sibling received an inheritance that I didn't because of special needs. They were embarrassed and ended up splitting it with me.

I would do it evenly, just to keep peace in the family.
