In leaving a inheritance do you intend to split your assets equally or will you divide it among your children in another way?
I recently have seen three different approaches. One equal, one weighted through perceived need and one based on male priority.
I am personally of the view that, barring some monumental fallout, our children will receive an equal share of our estate. I find any other approach difficult to understand.
It is a difficult subject to broach with family/parents. My mum made the effort to do this and spoke with us. She initially felt my youngest brother may need more support, but then reflected that we had been given identical opportunities in life. I and my middle brother just made the most of ours. She therefore decided to split things equally.
Just curious to hear what people think is "right".
