Again, I want to emphasize, you are pretty much free to do what you want with your $, with only a few limits and rare exceptions.
With my mom being on the side that gets screwed because of traditional old school thinking from her parents, was hoping if this sets some kind of precedent, then maybe she'll have some options in the future. . Jokes aside, stuff like this often drive families apart. A parent who discriminates inheritance based solely on gender is real selfish imo, since they'll be the main reason why their kids' relationships go sour.
