[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you have a lot of resentment towards your brother. It’s probably been building for awhile. So much so that even thoughts about having to do more for him 20-30 years from now are stressing you out. If I were you I’d focus on your own parents. They will most likely need help and they both have children (you, your brother, anyone else?) that are already at odds with each other. You have time now to improve the relationship with your parents and help ensure that their estate planning is in order. You’re kind of skipping a generation if that makes sense. Trust me, if you are already resentful of him you need to talk to your parents about your obligations to them in their old age. Because if they split their estate 50-50 between you and your brother despite having bank rolled him for years AND you end up having to take care of them and handling all the unpleasant aging tasks it’s going to compound your resentment.
