The Bible mentions the importance of leaving an inheritance for future generations in Proverbs 13:22, which states, "A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children." This verse emphasizes the value of providing for one's descendants, suggesting that wise stewardship includes planning for the financial well-being of grandchildren as well. While not extensive, this principle reflects a broader biblical theme of caring for family and future generations.

You can leave the money to your one grandchild 'In Trust' with instructions. The mother then must prove that all monies given from the Trust Fund are spent on your grandson by giving receipts of purchases if necessary. If your oldest grandson is a minor then no, you shouldn't leave the money to him to disperse to the one younger grandson.

Why not? I do not believe grandparents have an obligation to leave inattentive, estranged and obnoxious grandchildren anything!
If you leave an inheritance to a minor, it may be held in a trust until the minor reaches the age of majority. The trustee will manage the inheritance on behalf of the minor until they are old enough to access it. It is important to set up clear instructions in your will for how you want the inheritance to be managed and distributed.
No.
leave the dead, they are not for us.
The deceased. All people who die leave some sort of inheritance, even if it is the clothes they died in and there is no will or known relative to inherit. But you cannot leave an inheritance without dying.
The phrase "I will not leave you" appears one time in the KJV bible. (John 14:18) " I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
If your will is made out in anticipation of your death before the the birth of a yet unborn child, the amount left to the unborn child would have to be held 'In Trust' for that chiild. (i.e.- your wife is pregnant with your child but will not give birth until after your death -OR- your daughter does not yet have children but you would like to leave an inheritance to any children she MAY have (your grandchildren). The will would have to be worded to narrowly reflect these circumstances. Although you can leave bequests to named individuals who are living at the time of the probate of the will, you cannot simply leave an inheritance to "unknown" persons.
You have no right to "borrow" from a future inheritance since an inheritance doesn't exist until the owner of that property dies. However, depending on your circumstances, if the testator is very wealthy, and likes you a lot, they may give you an advance on whatever they plan to leave you in their will.
