[quote=Anonymous]Look, these are just class differences. If your parents have a ton of money, and $1M might go to a mentally disabled brother to spend, rather than to a trust for his care, that's a big waste and a problem that should be handled.

If you are middle to lower class, with your retirement and old-age care uncertain, then certainly, no one is entitled to your life's earnings and if you did your best by your kids, they are lucky to have had you as examples.

However, for people with real money? It is assumed you earned the money ensure the success of your progeny. That's why we live, right? To see our kids do as well as possible. If you want to give your millions to the dog park instead of your kid, I assume your kid is cut off from the family line, for whatever good/bad reason. Your actual kid! Now say you have a schitzophrenic adult child. This is difficult, you need advisors to help put up care and cushion for this adult child when you die, otherwise they could become a street person. I would assume any caring decent parent would set up the necessary arrangements if they had sufficient funds![/quote]
