[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 660922, member: 30"] We too have three children and felt much like you do regarding your difficult child. When we made our will, we had it made to be split equally among our daughters. I hope that as time goes on that we will give whichever child the specific items we would like for them to have. At the end of our will we added a special clause that states, anyone that argues or challenges our will, will be excluded. There is only one that we would expect to challenge anything and if she is wise, she keep that information to herself in order to be included. We purposely did not mention specific items go to a specific child for the sole purpose of being fair and equal to all of our children. I didn't feel it was right to leave hurt feelings between our children after we are no longer here. I really do hope they keep a tight family bond after we are gone. Edited to add: During this process of getting our wills taken care of, we signed legal documents assigning who our medical power of attorney would be and the executer of our will and and some point will appoint a financial power of attorney too. difficult child will not be named on any of those documents.
