Be happy you live somewhere that you have the choices! In France you can't disinherit the little *******s - even if they've run off and deserted their "dear old" Mum or Pop.

My Dad's favorite t-shirt/bumper sticker was "I'm spending my kids' inheritance!" And bless him, he's entitled to it. He earned it, he should spend it. He never figured to live as long as he has - and he's in a home now at government expense. I'm glad he spent it while he could enjoy it.
Cheers,
