[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming everyone in the family gets along, is there any compelling reason to not divide an inheritance between 2 siblings 50/50?[/quote] Some families divide the inheritance equally among the grandkids. There are Latin names for these patterns, "per stirpes" (divide among 1st generation siblings) vs. something like "per capita" but I'm not sure that's it because my grandparents did per stirpes. [/quote] "per stirpes" = dividing by descendant lines (so each branch of the family gets the same amount, and grandchildren with more siblings get less money than grandchildren with fewer siblings) "per capita" makes sense, I guess, but in my great uncle's will, it was called "share and share alike." (Kinda bummed out my cousin, who was sure the estate was being divided per stirpes). [/quote]
