[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother intends to will her money to my daughter. She has 3 other great-grandkids. [b]I'm hoping that this doesn't cause issues for them[/b]. My grandmother said this is because my daughter is the one who comes to see her and most looks forward to spending time with her. FYI, my mom and I are the ones bringing her by. I'm touched that she really wants to do this, but [b]I'm hoping it doesn't cause a strain for my daughter and her cousins in the future.[/b] It's not their fault that their parents only bring them around on major holidays.[/quote]

Of course it will.[/quote]

It absolutely will.  Be prepared for it to ruin at least some of those relationships.  If it really bothers you and your daughter, make plans to divide it equally--once it's your daughter's money, she can do whatever she wants with it. [/quote]

[b]If the PP really feels that badly about it, PP can arrange to split the money 4 ways.[/b] [/quote]

No she can't. If grandma leaves her money to great grandchild, the child's mother can NOT divide it in 4 ways and give 3/4 away! Not even if she is the administrator. No court would allow that. Now, once her daughter turns 18 (or whatever age great grandma stipulate for her to have access to the money), she can donate the money, although I doubt she would.[/quote]
