Grandchildren in wills

[Gemini]

In her will my mother is leaving her house, half to me, half shared equally between my 3 daughters, her only grandchildren. I consider this unusual, as do my friends.
However it is up to my mum what she does with her money, and that's not what I want to discuss

I wondered what members here planned to do regarding grandchildren and wills?
I plan to leave everything to my 3 daughters, shared equally. My grandchildren will eventually inherit from their parents, and therefore from me, indirectly. Recently however I have been thinking that I would like to leave a small amount for each grandchild. The 3 I have already and any others which may arrive in future.

Have you made provision for your grandchildren directly in your will?

My husband and I made our wills a long time ago and have since been revised. Everything is shared between my DS and DD, it is then up to them what they decide. My husband invested three thousand for each GC which they received plus interest when they were 18, the youngest two have yet to receive theirs.

We will leave everything to our 2 sons. But I shall probably put a letter with my will saying that I'd like my few bits of jewellery to go to our GDs, and my OH will make some similar specific requests to our GSs.

As Gem says, our GCs will eventually inherit through their own parents.

I have already given my DS OH's pocket watches, my DD a lovely old gold watch chain with a topaz on the chain which was her Gt. GP's. I know she will look after it. I also gave my DIL a watch chain which she has exchanged for a lovely ring. My SIL had my OH's silver tankard. My GD's have already had some jewellery which I felt was a bit young for me now. I would rather they had these now than them sorting it out later.

Same as Daisy, but I do wonder about 'stuff'. I (yes me, not OH) have about 2000 books, some of them my great grandfather's. Who will look after them? DS never opens a book and DD has no space....
