[quote=Anonymous]It's important to distinguish between a sibling that has problems that are entirely out of her or his control, like being disabled, and siblings that are just flakes who never managed to pull it together. I completely understand parents leaving more to the disabled sibling to ensure that person's well-being in their absence. But leaving more to the flake is just rewarding bad behavior and creating a disincentive for one's offspring to succeed financially. Oftentimes, these individuals already used more parental resources while the parents were alive (via "loans" that are never paid back or multiple education and training costs for careers that never got off the ground), so the big windfall inheritance is exacerbating the inequity.
