Has anyone ever heard of a situation where the deceased changed the will to leave everything to a charity or organization, and nothing to their children?   Are there any grounds for the children to contest the will?[/quote]

My dad left everything to Joel Osteen and have his kids about 10k each. It wouldn’t have been so insane if it hadn’t been a 10m estate. He was left 5m by his parents (he was an only child) with the instructions that he should “provide for his family.” We just laugh about it now. [b]This is why I feel strongly that grandparents should provide for grandchildren and not just their children (at least if their intent is that their money be passed down)[/b]. [/quote]

I have a friend whose parents did that and her brother is suing because he has no children.  The parents left their estate 50% to their children and 50% to their grandchildren.  My friend is extremely upset by it.  [/quote]

What does he think would be equitable?[/quote]50% to him and 50% to her and none to grandchildren[/quote]

That’s typical [/quote]
