I am going to update my 24 year old will to leave my house and all assets to adult DC 50/50.
I have very little contact with my sister, I bother and she doesn't.
Would you leave anything to her in the will? A small piece of jewellery or picture?
My Ds thinks I am mad and shouldn't bother as she will only sell whatever is gifted.
Do siblings normally gift to each other?

My DH and I were both married before, 2 AC each. Our wills leave everything except the jointly owned house to our own AC, but a (smallish) cash sum to each other, so that whoever is left can put that towards a flat or somewhere to live.

@whattodo1975 yes I have come round to that idea too.
I actually received my draft will today and must say for £300 I was a bit disappointed that it was only one page! But then it's all 50/50 to the two DC so not much waffle to write.

Nothing to siblings as, being the youngest, I'm working on the premise that they will already have gone. No DC so everything to "niblings"

Having said that, if DH goes first I might change mine to leave something to my sister who is broke as she can't say no to her lovely but feckless [adult] children.
