I've observed that some Western billionaires and millionaires have made it known that they wouldn't be leaving anything for their children and family. Personally I support this opinion , I think the only thing parents owe their kids are; good education , shelter , food , clothing and a memorable childhood . But should kids really get anything from their parents?

It's Not limited to culture.. It's all based on personal conviction and principles.

Many people in the Western world still will their wealth to children and or relatives. The dead have no use for wealth.... You can at least let it run within the family after you're gone.

Most of them go to charity

Stop forming woke and trying to be politically correct. If you grew up in abject poverty and was able to climb the social ladder to the elite level, would you deny your children the possession of your wealth after you die? Even if they were with bad behaviour? Which would mean you did a bad job as a parent anyway.

Children are entitled to their parents' wealth.

Nah stranger u for WILl am to?Well not all children are entitled to their parents WILL.No parents will give their belonging to a worthless,vagabond,hopeless,Bet9ja pikin

No irresponsible children should inherit their parents fortune/property.Such misfortune children veil sell it and use the money to stake Bet9ja game,drink to stupor/change girls like pata

I believe they should be able to build from scratch.

The Very Great Good Book said "a Good Father leaves an Inheritance for his Children's Children".

Didn't the Bible come from the West?

NO

There's no one in the entire Bible who was from a western country.

So it should be inherited by other people's children?

If your children turned out irresponsible and not fit to inherit your properties, then it means you are a big failure as a parent.

Forget about some billionaires donating their wealth to charity. They are being economical with the truth.

Rothschild sets the pace. King Solomon said it thousands of years ago, leave inheritance for your grandkids.

You are talking about western world

Talk about Nigeria as a context

If you don't give your children chance to inheritance then be ready to loose it all

How?
What makes them entitled to it

A good father leaves inheritance for his children.

Yes, children are entitled to their parents wealth.

The parents should ensure they train responsible enough to continue their good legacy.

It's not wickedness

It is very Wickedness! That is why the All Mighty provided Through Natural Law, the Law of Succession (not man-made False and Fraudulent Administration of Estates law/Wills laws) but the very Succession Law itself.

The All-Good provided through the Law of Succession that EVERY SOUL SHALL BE CATERED AND PROVIDED FOR!

It is wickednesses to not only fail to provide for your children but to go as far as Depriving them of Good Things, without very good and sound reasons.

Yes, children should inherit the wealth of their parents.

I don't think children are inherently deserving of their parents' wealth 'just because', but I would find it peculiar if a parent actively went out of their way to not give them anything (since by law if there were no will in place, a portion would automatically go to them anyway (I think)). I'd also find it peculiar if the parent went out of their way to give a specifically low portion

It is the good plan of our Creator that all souls must enjoy the many goods on and in the earth therefore it is an Inherent Natural Right.

Did our Creator not Command that we should care for the needy? If the Children have been catered for, would it not then be good to cater for others in need?

"The bread for the Children can not (and should not) be given to dogs" or strangers.

Besides it is also wickedness and unfairness to dump these wanting kids on the society, shall they not Rob And Steal other people's goods?

This dis-heritance is one of the causes and contributors of Robbing, Stealing, Killing and Evil thing in the society.

Yet the sons of Satan advocate for it.

Addendum!
It is wrong for the stupid laws made by men (which itself is a false replication of Natural Law) to say anything about Will or no Will before a descendant can take the property of his parents.

It is already provided by Nature (Natural Law) that children Must inherit the property of their parents Unless the parent by solid good reason deprives them of it, for a reasonable time and provided that the Children are not in Want where they shall become a problem to the society.

I saw a thread here not long ago about "children are not a retirement plan" or something like that ..
And folks on that thread agreed with the topic, speaking ill of parents and calling them "entitled" etc..

Would those same individuals keep the same energy here? Or would they hypocritically argue that children must inherit thier parents' wealth..

I'm talking about children who are properly provided for , I'm talking about children who have attended the best universities , enjoyed luxry , had a memorable childhood , never lacked anything in life. I'm talking about children who have gotten all they want .I'm talking about adults who can take care of themselves , can't they work for themselves?

No grown human being is entitled to anything except his/her human rights.

Being entitled means something is owed to you wether you deserve it or not. Some children don’t deserve sh!t.

I highly doubt that.

The owner decides who gets his properties n wealth through a will upon death.

I believe that same thread used an example of a father who kept using the fact that he raised his own son as a bargaining chip to guilt and justify asking him for things that were clearly outside of the son's budget.

People were not saying that children shouldn't keep their parents in mind or take care of them, the point was that some parents use manipulation to get what they want out of their children.

Anywho I don't believe either or them are entitled to each others' wealth by default, BUT I think it is important to still have gratitude and keep your parents in mind when you're in a position to help them. And leaving your child a portion of wealth (whilst not 'deserved' just like that) is just 'one of those' standard acts of taking care of your child. Assuming there isn't an estranged, dysfunctional etc relationship in both situations

I think I stumbled across that thread too and I am wholly in support of parents that regard their offspring as a "retirement plan"

Today we are young and agile and that would not be the case when we get to the extremes of age. There would be a lot of things you would want to do, but for age. This is where your retirement plan kicks in.

My advise is to use it with caution. Know the limits of your children's abilities and do not push them away by making outrageous demands.
