Recession and adult children
My sentiments exactly. I have one child and he will inherit the bulk of my estate with small bequests to my sister and 3 close friends. My son appears completely disinterested in my finances. He has a good job and is self supporting. Probably saves more than I do. I would be very irritated if he appeared presumptuous in relation to any future inheritance. I should give some thought to a bequest to the local animal rescue organization and also the public library. I donate to them heavily throughout the year in my late husband's name.
The one thing that has confounded my analytical brainis the sense of entitlement to someone else's assets that underlies all this type of mess.
I see a person's Will as their undeniable right to do whatever they want to with their stash.
H*ll, give it all to charity if you want to.
