She can leave her money to whoever she wants to.

I think the story makes that clear.

There's no law that says the 'children' gets it all. Some kids deserve nothing.

Who cited a law? I was stating that it's OK from my point for her kids to hate her if she doesn't even trust them with her fortune. Also per my original post, all bets are off if they are adult brats.

You tend to forget - it is her money. What she does with it is her business.

She earned it - she decides where it goes.

Most people are able to determine what the needs of their children are.

In fact, Vanderbilt or one of the megarich did not leave a fortune to his children. He advised that the worse thing a parent could do was to leave a fortune to a child. He left a trust fund - but not a megafortune. It went to charity.

You mean... if, for example, they behave the way you have on this thread?
