[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure whether to post here or in Money forum, but I think here makes more sense.

DH and I are mid-40s and each stand to inherit 7 figures absent something extremely unusual. We still need to work and think about our finances, but overall we are extremely well-off. Unless something extreme happens, we aren't planning our retirements or college funding around the inheritances.

Each of us has an older sister (I also have a younger brother) who is not as well-off as we are. For various reasons each of our parents are considering transferring some assets now, with more going to our sisters. [b]Since for now it's my parents' and ILs', and I don't need it anyway, I am okay with this.[/b] DH actually raised giving extra funds to his sister himself. Is there something I'm missing, however, that could create an issue in the future?

I am lucky to not have gone through managing an estate, but I understand that it can raise uncomfortable feelings and questions. Is there something we should suggest now (maybe in how things are structured) to avoid anything difficult in the future? I don't know what that would be...maybe if DH or I end up with a significant illness or disability?[/quote]

LOL how generous of you to be "ok with this" since it's not your money to begin with![/quote]
