My grandpa did something like this,,,He moved his family from West Virginia in 55 to San Jose Ca.. They were super poor. He did odd jobs until he had saved enough to get a loan for a couple tractors. Then he went to work digging foundations for housing tracts. He hit it big time, A right place at the right time thing. The housing boom was just starting and he cashed in. & spent the next 30 years working his a** off and raking in the cash,,,,,after he retired and got old the wolves started circling, everybody wanted a piece of the pie. Everybody friends and family started kissing his a** thinking they were going to get their piece.....aaaaah but he smelled the wolves and was well aware of them sniffing around,,so outsmarted everybody, when he died in his will it was ordered EVERYTHING be liquidated into cash and it was to be divided equal between his 5 children,,,NOBODY GOT SHIT except his kids,,,he had a living brother and sister, didnt get shit,,us 15 grand kids, didnt even kick us a 100, not shit for us, all the hangers on,,nothing and it was iron clad nobody could do shit about it. He explained his reasoning in the will,,rather than itemize everything and say who got what or not itemize and his kids fight over stuff,,f**k it, liquidate it into cash and split the cash. The reason he gave was "I got 5 kids, its my responsibility to make sure my kids are taken care of, the grand kids can get a cut when their parents die if anything is left, not my problem" everybody was pissed, everybody thought they were going to get some of his pie and he told em all from the grave to "piss off",,,,,Bwaaaaahhhhaaaahhhaaa i was pissed for about 5 min. but the more i thought about it the more i thought "hell yeah paw-paw that is how you kick the wolves and a** kissers in the teeth,,,,,my dad died 5 years ago (15 years after his dad died) and my cut (1/5 i have 4 brothers) after my dad pretty much pissed his away came to 42k
Still, $42,000 is a nice chunk of change to deposit into your bank account.
Great story though.
The biggest lessons I've learned though:
1) Have a Will, even if all you own is a car and a $1,000 in the bank. Wills aren't as expensive as you might think.
2) If your assets aren't going to be divided equally between your kids, tell them yourself in advance of your death so they know what to expect. Even if it's a big fat zero.

Love for you child is unconditional
It dont matter what they do or dont do
It dont change
Therefore all your children should be favoured equally
OK
Apparently the father didn't think that way.
And I would have done a same thing
You don't care about me, don't be standing in line and holding your hands out.

That all goes back to the belief that some people have that just because they're somebody's child that they're automatically entitled to an inheritance.

Some people try to prove that the deceased wasn't of sound mind when they drew up the Will, thereby making the Will null & void.

Sounds about right to me. If his kids don't have time for him in life, why should he do anything for them in death?
I agree.
I see it every day with one of my patients. He's 91 & has 4 daughters. 2 of them are very close to him and make sure he's taken care of, the other 2 have more of a relationship with the old guy's accountant than they do with him.

If there is nothing in writing it does go to the next of kin.
Wonder what happens if there is more than one?

In Connecticut at least, if there is no Will the assets would be divided equally among the children.

Are your daughters aware of that? If not, you might want to let them know so it doesn't come as a surprise.
My er... kids age from 26 to 44, I tell them everything that concerns them, they are aware of it.

I actually Googled my own question.
The assets get divided equally in every states.
If there is no next of kin and no will, the government gets it.
I don't have to worry, I only have one daughter.
Funny, she asked me about my house/money once..
Told her I might leave it to a dog shelter or something...

Damn this is subjective who are we to judge who and what another man leaves his inheritage too? It's his wealth he can burn it if he wants.
Could be many factors we don't know about the other two children...drugs and criminal activity would definitely get one left out of my parents inheritage. They don't play those games.
