What is the point of people saying ''Spend the Kids Inheritance''.

Hi. soop I've missed you this week hoping you are well and Rory is not feeling the cold too much is he staying indoors longer now.?

Hello glamma Mr soop is recovering from a chest infection and tonsillitis. Rory's latest image uploaded. He's fast asleep and dreaming...leg and tail all of a twitch. As you'll see, he appears to be stressed
It's a bright and beautiful day in Kintyre. Possible that I may do a few light jobs in the garden. We've a couple coming to help with heavy digging. We all seem to think that we can cope with such toil...but to my cost, I understand otherwise!

Thanks glam I will remember your kind and generous offer

None of our children expect to inherit from us; they have all just assumed that we will leave our money to charities and they often joke about it amongst themselves and with us. The truth is that, at the moment, they do stand to inherit. However, if, at the time of our deaths, they are all in their own homes with just the normal day to day expenses of life to meet, then we will leave them each a small 'fun fund' and we shall leave our money to projects that will make a life changing difference to others.

I've no idea what my kids expect. I haven't asked and I have no intention of doing so. They are too polite to bring the subject up either. Likewise with my siblings and me and our mother.

Hi Bags

I can see what you are saying but there are circumstances when the children have a right to an inheritance.
My father had a lady friend for about a year after I joined him in my parental home she suddenly demanded I left just as I had finished paying for the house to be bought back to a good standard and took my dog with me.
At that point in time I had spent £30,000 on the house.
As it happened Dad jumped in and said I was not leaving so the ownership of the house did not really matter and she left.
Incidently the dog was purchased by Dad and myself jointly.
I was in a position to get another house if I wanted but I had inherited half the house from my mother and there was the matter of the £30,000 and it was only fair that this woman could not get the house.
