[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16993282, member: 70025"] When I was younger my Dad always taught me that family or friends and money do NOT mix. I have never personally experienced it, but have seen it plenty of times. Greed is a powerful deadly sin and a reason it's #2 on the list of 7. First off I agree on spouses being left off. I have no issue with that at all. Now if you have kids with said spouse it can become tricky. However, in today's society where you have kids with spouse A and only "step" kids with spouse B then my point is spouse A should get some help due to the bloodline, but spouse B shouldn't get anything as it's someone else's bloodline. Second, my personal belief is my parents amassed their wealth on their own and through their hard work and sacrifices. So, whatever they want to do with their money when they die is "their" choice. I have my own wealth and don't need anything. So, if my parents choose to leave me anything it's just a blessing. Third, my parents have already announced their wishes to me and my brother (it's only us 2 siblings). I'm the oldest so my parents have designated me as the executor. My parents have told me and my brother exactly what they want to go to each grandchild (they have 4). My parents have expressly told me and my brother that if anything comes up that wasn't discussed my brother and I are to discuss it, but in the end the final decision is mine since I'm the oldest/executor. I know this isn't always the case and people die unexpectedly or pass without a will. But, my take is blood takes precedence and of the blood it should be split equally regardless of age or financial disposition. I know, easier said than done. Why? Because in general people suck and are greedy bastards...... [/QUOTE]
