You call it like you see it, understanding that nobody has a crystal ball. My will is not equal for reasons I have clearly articulated in my will. I make no apologies.

NP. Why are you doing this in your will as opposed to before? If you have more than one child and there is an unequal distribution, do you care how this may affect the sibling dynamic?

Just asking as I hear, time and again, these anguishing stories where children do not find out about such matters until after their parents' deaths and it can do irreparable harm to the siblings' relationship.

My parents as well as my maternal relatives had a near pathological fixation with being "equal equal," but I've come to better understand as I age why folks do this.

Isn’t it just up to however the people leaving the money want to do it. I think my parents are splitting their money between kids and grandkids and charities however they want to do it.
