We were discussing gifting our children. It is meant to be some extra cash just to have on hand for whatever they would like to do.
We are in agreement with gifting but not necessarily the amount. Our DS is married with 2 young kids. Our daughter is single. Our will provides a 50/50 split.
We were discussing a 50/50 gift. Or, a 50/50 gift, plus a gift for the grandchildren, for their future education. That feels to one of us as if we are providing a larger gift to DS, even if it is directed at the grandchildren. DS could make the choice of directing his gift money to his children, if he so chooses. There are no strings attached to any of the gifting.
For the Ethicists out there, can you provide your thoughts of what is fair? This is an anal question is fair response.
