[quote=Anonymous]Not sure whether to post here or in Money forum, but I think here makes more sense.

DH and I are mid-40s and each stand to inherit 7 figures absent something extremely unusual. We still need to work and think about our finances, but overall we are extremely well-off. Unless something extreme happens, we aren't planning our retirements or college funding around the inheritances.

Each of us has an older sister (I also have a younger brother) who is not as well-off as we are. For various reasons each of our parents are considering transferring some assets now, with more going to our sisters. Since for now it's my parents' and ILs', and I don't need it anyway, I am okay with this. DH actually raised giving extra funds to his sister himself. Is there something I'm missing, however, that could create an issue in the future?

I am lucky to not have gone through managing an estate, but I understand that it can raise uncomfortable feelings and questions. Is there something we should suggest now (maybe in how things are structured) to avoid anything difficult in the future? I don't know what that would be...maybe if DH or I end up with a significant illness or disability?[/quote]
