Comment on Is it ethical for a parent to distribute inheritance based on the child(ren)'s mental capacity (aka refusing to give an inheritance to child(ren) with reduced mental capacity)?

Structuring it to avoid having benefits clawed back does seem unethical but I would honestly do the same.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with leaving everything in the hands of the most capable child along with the clear understanding that they’re now the one who is responsible for looking after the family.

There sure is, it’s called an understanding of human nature.

  Do you mean they’ll probably just keep it all for themself? If so then you’re right, that’s something you would have to consider.

    Yes, trusts need oversight, always. Family means very little to some people when money is involved and you never really know who they are until they’ve been stress tested.
