If one of your adult kids won the lottery

If you have two grown children. One of them wins a substantial sum on the lottery. Your other child is very poor living from one pay day to the next and has to budget to make sure they can pay for life’s essentials. Would this affect what you leave your children in your will and would you leave the majority of your assets to the child who needs it most? Or would you split it between them evenly?

I personally would leave the majority to the child who has nothing. Would you do the same?

Disclaimer to add this hasn’t affected me in real life. It’s something I have wondered about though.

I'll be in a sim situ - not lottery but 1 DC is a go getter, the other is v poorly. I've said 50:50 but I would help the poorly one a little more whilst I can.

I think having an I'll child changes what should be done @Dibbydoos.

If your child is going to need long-term support then planning on how this is funded is needed.
