It makes total sense that parents would want to leave their children their assets after they pass away. Even totally alive and healthy adults will set up trusts, funds and savings just to give their children a leg up in life. At the very least, it seems irresponsible to just throw away everything you’ve accumulated in life. Who gets what is the real crux of the issue and a common source for drama. Succession won numerous awards basically based off of this idea.
However, most parents generally at least try to play lip service to the idea that all of their children should get something. Normally, “disowning” a child is the rare case where they end up with nothing. But in this story, the mother very clearly had a favorite and didn’t even try to hide it. Shockingly, it seems like her preference was for immature deadbeats, although an argument can be made that the brother needed the money more than anyone else.
Of course, as the saying goes, don’t “throw good money after bad,” so brother managed to waste what should have been an opportunity for him to set himself up comfortably. It really shouldn’t be a shocker to anyone that a lazy person who is bad with money would be, you guessed it, in tax debt, but here we are.
