My wife's grandmother just passed away. According to her will, each of her grandkids is set to inherit 50k each, and each of her grandkids 20k each, with one exception: one child, we'll call her Kid 1. Kid 1 is biologically the daughter of one of my wife's cousins, and was adopted by my wife before we got married, but we're raising her together. Kid 1's biological mother has since passed.
Because of this history, my wife's grandmother made the decision that Kid 1 should count as both a grandchild and a great-grandchild, which means both a grandchild portion and a great grandchild portion. Great! One problem. My wife and I have 3 other children, my son from a previous relationship, and two kids together.
So of our kids, Kid 1 gets 70k, Kid 2 gets nothing (not related to her), and Kids 3 and 4 get 20k each. This seems to me to be a recipe for resentment. How do I handle this as a parent?
Ninja edit: Pooling and splitting isn't legally an option nor do we view it as necessarily the right thing to do. My wife's portion is also not available as we desperately need to start retirement savings for her. We're in our late 30s. I have barely 10k in a 401k and she doesn't have one at all.
