[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting it bluntly OP your other two kids are pissed that you are rewarding their slacker sibling while they have made it on their own. [/quote]

I guess. I am the more successful of 3 children. I fully expect (because my dad has told me) that their estate plan is to reward my lesser successful siblings. They've worked hard and haven't had major life issues. I just make a lot more than they do.

Even if my father hadn't told me, I would expect them to get a larger share and would be surprised if he had equalized it. If he had equalized it i would assign some over to my siblings. I won't turn down money but they need it more than i do.[/quote]

My parents told us they were done supporting us after we finished grad school and that whatever money was left when they die would mostly go to their church, but they would also leave the same amount for each kid.  They told us this when we were teenagers to set expectations because they had earned a lot of money and didn't want us to live as if we would ever get a life-changing inheritance or be treated differently by them than our siblings.  All 3 kids are close, and we all have high incomes and savings.  [/quote]
