[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... would you consider financial situations? Sibling A has made no effort to save and has made many life decisions that have put them in a lesser financial situation (though far from destitute). Sibling B makes a decent income (but not extravagant) but lives very frugally and has saved since the first job out of college when they made a very meager salary.

Sibling A is also child free and Sibling B is not.

Curious the thoughts on this?[/quote]

If Sibling A has no children and Sibling B does have children, it sounds like Sibling B is patting themselves on the back for being a parent, and thus needing to have different financial plans than Sibling A when the choice to have children is not a better or more correct choice than remaining childfree, but merely a personal preference.

My guess is that OP is Sibling B and is angling for more of the inheritance for OP's children and is using Sibling A's financial situation as justification for why the grandparents should give more money to B for the grandkids. [/quote]

Nope. Should be 50/50. Sibling B then could give their kids any potion of their 50% share if they wish. Why would it come from sibling A’s 50% share? They are not sibling A’s kids. [/quote]

Op here. We’d be totally fine with that and what we told was going to be the case and now they’re changing to give sibling A more [/quote]
