I have two adult children, twins no less. The daughter is extremely responsible with money. The thought of leaving money to my son makes me queasy.
How do you handle potential inheritances in a case like this? I know the rule of thumb is to split equally so as to avoid no hard feelings. But my two will potentially inherit quite a sum. The thought of it being wasted and ill spent, well, makes me queasy.
I'd honestly feel better leaving my son's portion in control of his sister just to protect him from himself. But I don't want to cause grief between them either.
I know there are worse problems to have but the pain is real.
