About this episode

Nick discusses how to fairly leave money to grandchildren when each child has a different-sized family.

Nick tackles a surprisingly complicated estate planning question: how do you leave money to grandkids when each of your children has a different-sized family? What sounds simple on the surface quickly becomes a conversation about fairness, equality, future grandchildren, and family dynamics. Nick walks through several common ways families structure inheritances for grandkids, along with the pros, cons, and unintended consequences of each approach.
