Have NC this but regular poster. Would appreciate opinions on this situation.

If adult daughter in 40s who was financially comfortable with two DC and a DH who was a high earner had a windfall of £20,000 (not as a result of work or anything related, some good fortune) would you expect that daughter to give her only remaining living parent (70) any of the money?

Background is the daughter and mother are very close, the DM is struggling financially and hasn't worked much since covid and now lives on her pension. The daughter and her husband have a large mortgage but can afford to pay for it plus other luxuries. They have two DC who have everything they need.

No other siblings involved.

Just a point, @EL8888 , not everyone can downsize from a 3 bed house to something cheaper - my mum's house was a 3 bed but because it had a downstairs bathroom and an outside toilet, it was the cheapest house in the least expensive town in GB... and much less valuable than all the flats there
