[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 626956, member: 17269"] My mom was resolute that she was not going to take the "apparent" life situations of her kids into account when apportioning her estate. She had a sister who was down on her luck most of her adult life, and mom's parents supported the sister, who also got most of their (again, not sizable) estate/assets when they died because, well...she needed it the most! She then went on to marry an extremely wealthy guy when they were both in their 50's and she travels all over the world and has a house on the chesapeake bay. My mom, on the other hand, who seemed finanically secure and prudent her whole life, got divorced from my dad at a time when divorce laws were not female friendly, and literally took in renters in her house and ate macaroni and cheese for years while she went back to school in her 50's and started a career after being a stay home mom and housewife. In the end who knows who needed the money? We can't predict, and I do NOT want any of my kids to feel favored or less loved or cared for. [/QUOTE]
