[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised at two aspects of this. First being that the attorney who drafted your father's will did not advise him to place the money into an educational trust for each grandchild. Second, I think it is unfair (and likely damaging to the sibling relationship) when a parent divides inheritence among grandchildren rather than children. IMO the estate after the charity bequest (which is awesome that your dad did) should be split among you and your 3 siblings so that you each have an equal share. I agree with the brother who has 1 child. What if one of your siblings had no children - I guess your father would have not left anything to that child. [/quote]

My grandfather left money to 4 of his 9 grandchildren with an explanation reading that it was not because he loved them any less, but because he was confident in their futures. [/quote]

what a moron.[/quote]

15 years later, he called it well. The 4 he left money for were homeschooled and maladjusted. They lack the skills to do anything beyond fast food. The rest of us have been very successful. He did leave his farm (and thus a livelihood) to be divided among 4 that were not given money. One died (my brother) and one cousin bought his brother out. Him and I own a farm together.  Grandchild #9 is a crack whore. [/quote]
