It's a mess in my wife's family, but it's the parents' fault completely. They've talked about the inheritance for as long as I've known them. Now the Dad passed away and the mother changed the will, it won't be close to even, and now everyone's pissed.
I've always told them it's their money, do what you want, but at the same time, if one of the kids gets significantly less than others it leaves a mark. Like that kid isn't a real part of the family.
So yeah, it's your money, but don't think you're operating in a vacuum.
