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

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

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

But it does ... A grandparent should love their grandkids in EQUAL measure. Why would the others not need the money?

You can do whatever you like. Look into a special needs trust.

Where does the grandparent here say he only loves the one grandchild? You really need to do some self reflection on why money equals love to you.

You are correct, but in this scenario it's unfair. Do the math!

How do you know? Are you a member of this family? I’m going to trust the OP knows more about their grandson’s situation and understanding about their long-term ability to support themselves.

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

No guarantee the adult kids will have any money left over or will feel obligated to leave their kids money.

Just like the grandparent isn’t.

Or, leave your$ to your 2 sons. They can handle their own children.

I agree with the above

Stupidest statement ever. I don't know why people always come on these inheritance threads and say things like this.

It probably depends how mild the autism. If it’s really mild, that may not be such a limiting factor and the other kids may also have issues that you aren’t aware of, and might be upset grandkid is getting special treatment just for dropping out of college.
But if it’s severe, I can’t think this would upset anyone.
Like it one grandkid had Down’s syndrome, or was a little a paraplegic, would anyone gripe if the grandparent left more to a kid with a significant disability? Not in my family, certainly.

Why do you think you control how someone else spends their money?
