One of our kids is rich, the other isn't - how should we divide our estate so its fair?

A Redditor with a substantial net worth is grappling with how to fairly distribute his estate between two children who have vastly different financial situations. One child may inherit $5 million by age 30 due to luck, while the other struggles financially. Suggestions vary, with some advocating for a 50/50 split to avoid familial discord. However, others propose direct discussions with his wealthier child to explore a more personalized distribution, such as a 60/40 or even 70/30 split, based on each child's financial standing.

While many replies advocated for a 50/50 split to prevent resentment between the siblings, some encouraged the Redditor to have a conversation with his wealthier son.

Deciding how to fairly split an estate can stir up complex emotions, especially when one child possesses significantly more wealth than the other.
