[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why inform them of that?
Clearly you're fishing for a reaction[/quote]

No OP, but yes, this is something that close relatives should know about. My family tore itself apart because of a very unfair will, which was overturned in court after 25 years. I've seen multiple inheritance issues in various families, all stemming from an uneven division of assets. It's very important to divide assets evenly. No asset division will ever be "fair" in the sense that usually each person receiving a portion has different needs and dependents. But the "least worse" way of dividing an inheritance is by simple division by the number of heirs. There are some cases where a trust fund can be prepared for an heir with special needs. That's the only exception I've ever seen accepted by the other beneficiaries.[/quote]

You recount an instance of a family being torn ap[are by unevenly distributed inheritance, but then advocate telling people who aren't in the will at all.  In order to . . . what?  Stir up trouble?

Nothing good can come of publishing this fact.  [/quote]
