why should a lifetime of literary success be redistributed away from those who directly benefited from her work, when leaving ur children financial security is the most natural choice any parent could make?

I think it's totally fair that Dame Jilly Cooper left her fortune to her children since she earned it through her own hard work. Parents naturally want to provide for their kids, and that's what most people do with their wealth.

look, dame jilly earned that money fair and square so obviously her kids should get it-studies show 87% of wealthy parents do exactly this, so ur basically saying she should break tradition for no reason.

what about all the charities she could've funded instead, and isn't it just the wealthy protecting wealth for their own kids like always? why shouldn't successful people leave what they earned to their children?

a parent's life work becoming their children's foundation isn't greed, it's legacy. jilly cooper built an empire through decades of creativity and sacrifice, so why shouldn't her kids inherit what she earned?
