[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it's crappy. All kids should be treated the same, this is what divides family. When parents pit or play children against each other it's horrible. My sil's kids are now in a feud. Long story, but the ex left the wife and kids for a AP. Before he died he got mad at one son because he got on him for his excessive drinking. The AP died years earlier, and then when the dad died he only left it to one son. The other son and daughter were beyond hurt and shocked.

Now the son that inherited the house should sell it, give his siblings a equal share. That's the right thing to do, but he has no intention of doing that. I don't even think he gave them anything from inside the home. It's really changed their relationships.

The parents obviously should give everyone a equal share. Better to sell the home, not use it as a vacation home because that will incur a lot of problems down the road. [/quote]

Well for that you would need to ensure the kids took on equal burdens with their parents. This is generally not the case.[/quote]

So you want a chalk board to keep score? No you treat all your kids the same, that's what decent parents do.[/quote]

Np. I think that if one child takes on the bulk of elderly care responsibilities then it's fair for them to inherit a large portion of the estate. Usually it's quite obvious when this is the case, they live close to the parent or take them in their home.[/quote]
