If its spoiling a child to just hand them something then what's the point of a will?

Question

is that spoiling!? im not talking about handing them something all the time.

Answer 1

The point of a will is to ensure that your obligations are taken care of and your children are taken care of, it has nothing to do with spoiling for goodness sake.

Answer 2

I don't think being the beneficiary of a will is spoiling a child.  If the kid is young, the poor thing has just lost a parent or loved one.

If the kids is older, an inheritance could help give him/her a leg up in starting out life.

Answer 3

The point of a will is to make sure you can decide what you want to happen after you're gone.

Answer 4

Spoiling=overindulgence

Will=left over assets after death

2 different things.

Answer 5

If it dumps a ton of money on someone very young, it could be the same thing.
