Inheritance - fair and equal?

[JollyTeaScroller]

Sometimes fair does not translate to equal.
Parents who have 3 kids, two of them very well off with older kids and houses that cost 1m, and the third kid came out of a bad divorce, remarried, just had a baby and has nothing to their name and is struggling to get a mortgage.
Parents want to be fair so they are leaving their house to all 3 siblings.
And I understand and respect that, but isn't there something to be said about what is fair.
So for example if their house proceeds leave 150k to all 3 siblings, the 50k would just be extra money for the first two siblings, no great amount, but for the 3rd sibling that would mean they could have a healthy deposit to buy a house for their new family.
It's not going to happen, as parents want to be fair, but just wanted your views on it.

One child
both parents have “good jobs”

and yet you think she will likely “never” own her own property?

have some faith op! She will inherit a sizeable chunk, plus only one child, plus two parents both in “good jobs”, plus…
partner might get a tasty inheritance!

so I think worrying she will “never” own her own property seems a little pessimistic

But when the parent(s) die, that is only a snapshot in time. Many things happen in life that change finances hugely. What if sibling 1 gets sick, or divorced? What if sibling 3 wins the lottery? If I look at me and my sister, at times I have been vastly better off, at other times (like after my divorce), she was better off.

My son was recently engaged to a millionaire. My daughter is stuck in rented. Guess what, son and partner just split up.

Assets should be divided equally.

Split it evenly, personal circumstances shouldn't come into it, and can change.
