[quote=Anonymous]The fairest thing a parent can do is leave equal shares to each child, no matter how successful they are. If one is not able to handle their own finances, a special needs trust is created and a trustee assigned. OP's husband sees the inheritance as a gift from his family--something he did not earn and therefore to be used to help his brother without taking any extra money from OP's family that they would not give otherwise. I understand that desire because I have two siblings who are bad with money due to mental challenges. Unfortunately, my mother changed my parents' trust at the urging of one and left the lions' share to him with only a small special needs trust for the other, more disabled sibling. Had she left it as is, the two remaining siblings (me and sister) could have done as OP's husband desires and helped out with their share. Our hands are tied unless we wish to engage in a lengthy and expensive lawsuit. [/quote]
