My mother had a daughter before her marriage to my dad (I’m the only full blood sibling of the marriage). My half sister has put forward that she wants 50% of my parents assests. She didn’t have the best childhood. My folks want us to negotiate together what we want in their wills before they draw them up. Currently She has a much higher amount of capital than me. I feel awkward asking for a higher percentage of their assets. They have quite a lot of assets between them. What would you do?

What's your objection to 50/50? Perhaps that's simplest all round.

Your parents are wrong to put this on you.

Yes it maybe

The bigger question is how your dad would like to divide the cash. It’s his call not anyone else’s and it’s unfair to put the responsibility on to you.

You have two identical threads, ask MN to delete one?

Need more info. Was she adopted?

Depends if she was brought up by your father as his daughter? If so 50:50. If not 75:25 in your favour.
unless she will inherit from her own paternal family in which case 75:25 stands.
