[quote=Anonymous]Apparently I’m the contrarian.

If the kids from previous marriages are grown (which is implied by the age difference with last wife), then father has provided resources to those children already. So has provided them housing, expenses, college tuition, and some help with launching. If he dies while still having minor children, providing equally means that he leaves funds to get those minor children launched, and then thinking about leaving funds to all his kids.

If the estate is $200,000 and child is 5 yo at time of death, unlikely anything left to hand out at the end. If the estate is $10M, there should be. But it’s not as easy as saying everything should be divided equally at his death.

I’m in a first marriage, but we have a large age gap with our kids, and our estate holds all major inheritance until youngest turns 25, and the bulk at 35. This means that the oldest won’t get it until they are 40 and 50, respectively. We feel sort of bad about that, but felt that was the best of all options. [/quote]
