[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is socialist about this whole situation?[/quote]

Vast majority of inheritances are split equally among children and grandchildren.  That is most adult kids base case and expectations.  If you are deviating from that - while alive or in your final will - you should explain to all.

If you look at sister A who has a career in medicine and brother B who bounces around the music scene and want to give more to brother B, claiming he is more needing than sister A.  Isn’t that socialism? Focusing resources based on need, on the welfare of the least advantages group? Make things more equal by proving more help and leaving more inheritance to your less successful child.[/quote]

Think of it as evening out the genes that they gave to their children.  They gave one the skill set that aligns with a higher paying job and the other a skill set that does not.

Also curious, how much college did the parents pay for the doctor sibling and how much for the musical sibling? Perhaps the original seed money from the original down payment balances out the amount spent on the sister's tuitions. [/quote]
