Yay, today is Mom's birthday. She just turned 93. She's in pretty good shape for her age. Heck, she might make it to 103 although I know she doesn't want that. I do need to think about the inheritance situation. She probably has around $2.5 mil net worth. I have a brother and sister so that's $800.333 each. I don't especially need the money as much as my two kids do. They are doing the buying the first house stages of their life. If I took the whole amount I could only give my kids $17,000/year. If I come to an agreed amount, Mom can just will them $100,000 or so, right?
Here's the other catch. My son has only been married for a year. You know the probability of marriages lasting these days. It's not good. Can he just get the money and not his wife? What if they use it to buy a house? I bet that becomes community property automatically.
What say you?
