My wife’s grandfather tried that. Was sold off by the time he had been dead 2 years.
This was a beach house in So. Cal.
One of those LDS families where grandparents had 6 kids who all had 5-7 kids=too many entitled people involved.
It’s a shame, it was a beautiful home grandfathered in an 80’s tax bracket.

POLL: Let's say you have a $10MM nest egg to pass on when you die. How much would you give to your kids?

My parents are leaving 10% to charities, and another 10% for us to do same.

It might be on their list. Wouldn't surprise me.

10% - so basically they're making you pay tithing on it?

I'd try to burn through it having amazing experiences with them.

Cash? Very little. If it is an operating business that they are involved in, then the whole thing.

With 10M, I would hope I would have started some charitable foundation of sorts.

Typically $10m can go tax free.

Probably half. They'll get whatever's left that I don't give to the Church.

My FIL always says if there is money left when they die, he planned it wrong.

30% to kids, 20% charity, 25% to extended family and friends and 25% to other.

Just put it into the will that this can't happen. For 1 generation.

That's what I would do. Just specify that if the property is sold within 50

My mother’s uncle did that with a huge cabin in Montana. 100 year legacy.

I'd make it dependent on them doing something worthwhile with their lives.

All of it - I love my kids more than a charity or a church.

I guess everyone's different. 10 isn't much - 100 changes the scope a little.

Depending on the number of kids, $10m is not that much.

Money amplifies character, it doesn't change it

That's a good way to put it.

Yep. Not only character, but it also magnifies both strengths and weaknesses.

You can't retire at 35 on $2.5 million? Which planet did you say you're from?

From what I've seen, in Utah $500k will buy you much more than a modest home.

It won't buy you an extravagant home though. If I got 2.5 million, I'd find a

If you had $2.5m tax free, you could put it in income stocks yielding 7%
