[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Equal inheritance.

And you will most improve your kids' lives by giving them money while they are young/you are alive. If you want to give more financial support to your younger kid, do it now. It will make the most difference.

Agree with this, plus what would it do to their relationship if they got unequal inheritances?[/quote]

About the same damage as it would if they got unequal contributions along the way..Im surprised that people seem to be OK with parents giving more money to one kid (Private college vs. Public, fuding more grandkids' education for one kid, etc.) but take issue with "unequal inheritance".[/quote]

I think most people would expect those contributions to be taken into account when things are split in the end. That’s not what people mean when they say the inheritances should be equal. They mean don’t give one kid a ton of help because they’re unmotivated and don’t work as hard. Things should be equal, but of course if one kid doesn’t need the money now and the other does then you can give the money at different times. [/quote]
