[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My inlaws are in a tricky situation.  Their family tradition is to leave the bulk of inheritance to the child that "needs it the most".

BIL has Aspergers, is functioning and has a job but tends to lose them.  Will most likely struggle off and on.  Is in his late 40s, probably will never marry (hasn't even dated).  Lives in Texas, low cost of living.

We have 3 kids and much higher expenses than his bachelor lifestyle.

I wonder how my inlaws will split it. They're quite private about it.  DH worries that if they leave the bulk to BIL, it will be squandered (BIL spends all extra $ on his interest, comic book art), and we will wind up caring for BIL anyway(which is fine, we are family).  DH has offered to oversee a trust for his brother, but FIL is in denial about the impact of Aspergers.

So we have no idea! [b]What do you think would be fair?[/b][/quote]

I think a 50/50 split would be fair.  I do not understand parents who do not divide things up evenly.[/quote]
