[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 sons and each son has 2 kids. One grandson has mild autism. He graduated high school, got a job which he quit amd will be starting an apprenticeship.

Should I split my sizeable will 1/3 to each son and 1/3 to this grandson?[/quote]

Why would you leave the other grandkids out of your will? How unfair. Why this favoritism?[/quote]

This grandson will need the money. The others can get the money from their parents when they die.[/quote]

No guarantee the adult kids will have any money left over or will feel obligated to leave their kids money.[/quote]

This. My parents inherited a modest about and feel zero obligation to leave anything to their children.  Other grandchildren should understand that a SN grandchild will need more help than they do, but depending on the amounts available perhaps a small amount for the other grandchildren would be a nice gesture to let them know you're thinking of them too.  Or at least a letter explaining why.  I think it depends on the amounts.  If its $100K, that won't be enough to support the SN grandchild.  If its $1M, surely you could spare a bit for the other grandkids too.  If its a large amount, put it in trust paying income to your children and the SN grandchild during their lives, and the remainder to your other grandchildren.[/quote]
