I thought I’d ask for will advice after seeing a recent thread where posters were really helpful on the issue of whether to divide equally between dc. I want to make sure I’m being fair.
Dh and I have 2 daughters, both married with kids of their own - at present, our will divides everything between them equally.
Dd1’s daughter had severe scoliosis and needed surgery - the family decided that the surgery available in America would be better for her than the NHS operation, as it allowed her to retain some flexibility in her back.
We gave about £90,000 to dd1’s family to cover about half of the cost, dd1’s husband’s parents gave the other half. This was a few years ago now.
My question is, when dividing our assets between our two dd’s family, should we consider the £90,000 as part of dd1’s inheritance given early, and therefore leave £90,000 more to dd2, or should we divide our assets as they are equally, as the money was to fund a medical procedure?

AIBU?
Should money given to dd for medical procedure be deducted from inheritance?
