I used to come across a lot of estates when I was examining titles to real property. I came away with the premise that Pop didn't owe me a dime. That kept me working hard to be a success on my own merit and helped me get into a position to be able to retire when I felt I had to retire earlier than I expected. When Pop stated that he wanted to give my brother an additional bequest off the top of his estate, I told Pop absolutely to do it, because my brother put his life on hold to take care of Pop and literally kept our dad alive for an additional 10 months.
