Giving a personal piece of jewelry is great idea for your friends. Set up a foundation or give something where your heart leads you and where it may do some good. Or...here is an idea...take a trip with your friends what better gift! Spend time with those you love and make memories together.

I don't care what's happened between you two, he should get something! Especially if he needs the money! Stop thinking of yourself, when the time comes you'll be dead anyway.

But Judy is right, if you don't believe he deserves the money, don't give it to him. After all, he's your brother. You would know whether he deserves the money or not better than anyone.

Here's an idea, though: why not give friends a personal memento, like a piece of jewelry, while still alive? And in her will, create a grant for a struggling student or some other good deed. On TV we see all the time there are places in the world where a dollar a day will feed a child and keep her in school. Or bequeath a lot of money to breast cancer research? The possibilities beyond giving it to people to whom it would make no difference are endless. Also: Doing good will even make you live longer.

A threat like that, calmly but clearly delivered, might be just the wake-up call he needs to improve his disposition.

He is 20 and will be getting nothing from his father. What about leaving the estate to your brother’s son, the drug-addled nephew? He is 20 and will be getting nothing from his father.
