The other current will thread is by someone, who, quite understandably, feels hard done by because of the way her parents' will favours her siblings.
I want to avoid causing any hurt with my own will, and would welcome opinions.
I have two sons, whom I love equally. One has three children, other none as yet. Should our estate be divided equally between the two of them or should it reflect the number of grandchildren? What if childless DS has children after our deaths? (DH and I are fairly ancient so quite possible)
We have already given both sons substantial amounts for house purchase etc, and both are financially OK, neither is 'needier' than the other.
Someone on the other thread remarked that we should not feel responsible for our own chidren's family planning policy. I understand but am not sure how DSs would feel about that.
To complicate things, DS2, the one with the kids, is a single parent but is now in a blossoming relationship with a woman with a small DD of her own. Fond though I am of these two, I would not be happy for my own grandchildren's share of the cash to be diminished by further divvying up. Sorry if that seems unkind, I hope at least some of you will understand that bit.
